Short explanation

The Posts Table with Search & Sort plugin for WordPress up to version 1.4.14 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the date_format parameter, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary scripts.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability allows contributor-level users to inject web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses the affected page, bypassing standard restrictions because malicious tags reconstruct at render time.

What should be done?

Follow vendor advisories to apply updates when available
Review and restrict contributor-level permissions
Monitor affected endpoints closely given the UNKNOWN patch status

Show the technical text from the sources

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.
