Summary
The Data Tables Generator by Supsystic WordPress plugin in all versions up to and including 1.15.1 does not sanitize or escape table cell data submitted to its updateRows action, which is a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access can store scripts that run in the browser of any user who opens an affected page, but only when an administrator has added that role to the plugin's access_roles setting.

Description from the CNA
The Data Tables Generator by Supsystic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Table Cell 'data' Value via updateRows Action in all versions up to, and including, 1.15.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is only exploitable by Subscriber-level users when an administrator has added their role to the plugin's 'access_roles' setting, which is a documented and explicitly supported plugin feature that grants lower-privileged users access to the dtgs_nonce required to reach the vulnerable updateRows action handler.
