Table Manager <= 1.0.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Exposure via 'table' Shortcode Attribute

4.3
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVE CVE-2026-4126
CVSS 4.3 (Medium)
Publicly Published April 21, 2026

Description

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.
