The Data Tables Generator by Supsystic WordPress plugin versions before 1.9.92 contained a significant security vulnerability identified as CVE-2020-12076. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on March 24, 2020, characterized by missing CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) nonce checks for AJAX actions (Wordfence Blog).

The vulnerability received a CVSS score of 8.8 (High) with the vector CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H. The core issue stemmed from the lack of proper CSRF nonce checks in the plugin's AJAX actions, which could potentially allow unauthorized actions to be performed (Wordfence Blog).

The vulnerability's high CVSS score indicates significant potential impact on affected systems. With a complete set of High ratings for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability impacts, successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access and modifications to the affected WordPress installations (Wordfence Blog).

The vulnerability requires network access (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and user interaction (UI:R). This combination of factors makes the vulnerability relatively straightforward to exploit if unpatched (Wordfence Blog).
