This plugin is a simple table manager for wordpress.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Invalid include function at js/wptable-button.php :

else $wppath=$_POST['wpPATH'];

require_once($wppath.'/wp-config.php');
require_once($wppath.'/wp-admin/admin.php');

global $wpdb;
...
----------------------------------------------------------------


Input passed to the "wpPATH" parameter in js/wptable-button.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. 
This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
