Summary
The Posts Table with Search & Sort WordPress plugin has a stored cross-site scripting flaw that lets an attacker with a low-privilege login (contributor-level access or higher) inject scripts into pages, which run for any user who views the affected page. The attacker can reach it remotely over the network.

Read the original description
The Posts Table with Search & Sort plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'date_format' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The payload bypasses wp_kses_post at save time because it contains no literal angle bracket characters; the malicious HTML tags are only reconstructed at render time, making this exploitable by Contributors who would ordinarily lack the unfiltered_html capability.
