An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24900 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Ninja Tables – Best WP DataTables Plugin for WordPress. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24900/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24900/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24900","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24900/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24900","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j2rw-94m6-fg6j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts into Ninja Tables fields, leading to stored XSS attacks in WordPress environments.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"ninja_tables","vendor":"wpmanageninja"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Ninja Tables WordPress plugin before 4.1.8 does not sanitise and escape some of its table fields, which could allow high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Ninja Tables \u003c 4.1.8 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24900","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Security Audit \u003c= 1.0.0 - Admin+ Stored Cross Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24901"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Media-Tags \u003c= 3.2.0.2 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24899"},"products":["Ninja Tables – Best WP DataTables Plugin for WordPress"],"published":"2022-02-01","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Ninja Tables – Easy Data Table Builder \u003c= 5.0.18 - Unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2025-2940","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-27"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Ninja Tables – Easy Data Table Builder","id":"CVE-2024-7304","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-27"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Ninja Tables \u003c 5.0.17 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-12772","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-31"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Ninja Tables Plugin \u003c= 4.3.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-47137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"Deserialization in Ninja Tables – Easy Data Table Builder","id":"CVE-2025-2939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-03"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress Ninja Tables plugin \u003c= 5.0.5 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-23504","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts into Ninja Tables fields, leading to stored XSS attacks in WordPress environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24900/"}
