CVE-2025-31416

WordPress Awesome Event Booking plugin <= 2.8.4 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability

Published Apr 4, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in AwesomeTOGI Awesome Event Booking awesome-event-booking allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Awesome Event Booking: from n/a through <= 2.8.4.

Analysis

Technical impact

The vulnerable plugin fails to neutralize user input when rendering pages, allowing reflected XSS. This flaw permits an attacker to embed JavaScript via URLs or forms that the site reflects back. The CVE description does not list specific impacts such as session cookie theft or credential phishing; however, these are inferred consequences of executing code in a victim’s browser.

Affected Systems

This issue affects the Awesome Event Booking plugin from AwesomeTOGI, version 2.8.4 and all earlier releases. No other products or versions are identified as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates medium‑to‑high risk for web applications that rely on this plugin. Although the EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, meaning a low probability of widespread exploitation, the absence from the KEV list does not remove the need for remediation. The CVE description states only that the plugin allows reflected XSS; the statement that an attacker would need to entice a victim to a specially crafted link or manipulate a form submission is inferred based on general XSS behavior.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
