Description
The Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘calendar_header’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is a reflected Cross‑Site Scripting flaw that is triggered by the 'calendar_header' parameter in the Events Manager plugin. The input is not properly sanitized or escaped, so an attacker can embed malicious JavaScript in the URL or form data. If a user visits the crafted link, the script runs in the context of the WordPress site and can execute arbitrary client‑side code.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress up to and including version 7.0.3 are vulnerable. The issue originates in the plugin code that outputs the calendar_header value without filtering, regardless of user role, meaning any site running a vulnerable version is impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates medium severity, while the EPSS score of < 1% signals a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a remote, unauthenticated attacker crafting a malicious link that convinces a victim to click on it; no additional privileges are required beyond the victim’s visit.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Events Manager plugin to a version newer than 7.0.3, which contains the fixed implementation of the calendar_header parameter.
  • Configure a web application firewall or security plugin to block or sanitize any input that matches the calendar_header query parameter, preventing XSS payloads from reaching the page.
  • Implement a Content Security Policy that restricts script execution to trusted sources, limiting the impact of any residual reflected XSS vectors.
