    Hi,
    I love this plugin..
    I’m sure the TablePress team is aware of this but I’d like to double check to be on the safe side and make sure that all extensions Table press might be using are also patched any this Vulnerability.

    Article:
    https://marketblog.envato.com/news/wordpress-item-security-vulnerability/

    This is a general community announcement to bring your attention to an XSS vulnerability affecting multiple WordPress plugins and themes. The vulnerability is caused by a common code pattern used in WordPress plugins and themes available from ThemeForest and CodeCanyon, the www.remarpro.com website and other sources.

    This issue is not limited to themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest or CodeCanyon. Anyone using a WordPress website, regardless of where the theme or plugin was sourced, needs to be aware of this and take immediate action to ensure it is secure.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post and the concern.

    TablePress is not affected by this security issue, as it’s using the mentioned WordPress functions with the proper escaping.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    no problem, you are very welcome! ??
    I’m not sure what you mean with Pro version though, as there is no Pro version! ??

    I thought you offered a pro version / paid version with more features of the plugin?

    If not it’s possibly a good idea for the future…

    Just a suggestion..

    I’d be willing to pay for it!

    Hi,

    yes, I have thought about a real Pro version, but then decided to try the approach with Extensions first ??

    Hi
    I’m currently going over the formulas and extensions excreta. I honestly had no clue this plugin was capable of these functions… Great work!!
