Summary

WP Data Access, a WordPress plugin from peterschulznl, is affected in versions up to and including 5.5.90. Its Data Projects front-end simple form does not sanitize or escape stored values of text columns when it renders them inside a textarea element (CWE-79). An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can store arbitrary web scripts that run when a user opens the affected page.

Description from the CNA

The WP Data Access – App Builder for Tables, Forms, Dashboards, Charts & Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Data Projects front-end simple form in versions up to, and including, 5.5.90 This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the value of TEXT/TINYTEXT/MEDIUMTEXT/LONGTEXT columns rendered by the WPDA_Simple_Form_Item_Textarea::show_item() method, which emits the stored column value directly inside a <textarea> element after only replacing '&' with '&amp;'. 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.
