Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A WordPress plugin used to display responsive data tables can reflect user-supplied input into a web page without proper neutralization. An attacker may need a victim to open a crafted link, but successful abuse could affect user sessions, page content trust, or browser-side actions.
Executive priority
Treat this as a prompt WordPress exposure check, especially for public sites or sites with logged-in customer, editor, or administrator traffic. Prioritize removal, replacement, or vendor-confirmed updating if affected.
Technical view
CVE-2024-51710 is a CWE-79 reflected XSS issue in Minerva Infotech Responsive Data Table, package responsive-data-table, affecting versions through 1.3. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.1 with network access, low complexity, no privileges, and required user interaction.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with the Responsive Data Table plugin installed at version 1.3 or earlier. The source bundle does not identify affected routes, parameters, install counts, or a fixed version.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or other cited evidence of active exploitation. Reflected XSS generally requires a target user to follow attacker-controlled content, so phishing or social delivery is the likely abuse context.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sufficient for affected product, version ceiling, weakness class, and CVSS. Evidence is incomplete on vulnerable parameter, proof-of-concept details, exploitation in the wild, and fixed release status; avoid assuming exploitability beyond reflected XSS semantics.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the responsive-data-table plugin.
- Update to a vendor-supported fixed version if one is available.
- If no fix is available, disable or replace the plugin.
- Check Patchstack and vendor guidance before production deployment.
- Monitor for XSS detections targeting pages using this plugin.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Responsive Data Table is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record installed plugin versions and flag version 1.3 or earlier.
- Review Patchstack and CVE records for updated remediation details.
- Check security telemetry for suspicious links targeting plugin-rendered pages.
- Verify compensating controls cover reflected XSS in WordPress traffic.
