CVE-2026-4126: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in primisdigital Table Manager
The Table Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 via the 'table_manager' shortcode. The shortcode handler `tablemanager_render_table_shortcode()` takes a user-controlled `table` attribute, applies only `sanitize_key()` for sanitization, and concatenates the value with `$wpdb->prefix` to form a full database table name. It then executes `DESC` and `SELECT *` queries against this table and renders all rows and columns to the frontend. There is no allowlist check to ensure only plugin-created tables can be accessed — the `tablemanager_created_tables` option is only referenced in admin functions, never in the shortcode handler. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data from arbitrary WordPress database tables.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-4126 is a sensitive information exposure vulnerability in the primisdigital Table Manager WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.0). The shortcode handler 'tablemanager_render_table_shortcode()' accepts a user-controlled 'table' attribute, sanitizes it only with sanitize_key(), and concatenates it with the WordPress database prefix to form a table name. It then executes DESC and SELECT * queries on this table and renders all data to the frontend. Because there is no allowlist verification to restrict access to only plugin-created tables, authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher can extract data from arbitrary WordPress database tables. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (medium severity) with low complexity and requires privileges but no user interaction.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can read sensitive information from any database table accessible by the WordPress database user. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored in the WordPress database. There is no indication of impact on data integrity or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch is currently available from the vendor. Until a patch is released, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for plugin updates and apply official fixes once available. Avoid using the vulnerable shortcode or disable the plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
