Description
The Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Events Manager plugin for WordPress stores user‑supplied shortcode attributes without adequate sanitization or escaping, creating a stored cross‑site scripting flaw. Authenticated contributors or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript that runs when a visitor loads a page containing the injection, enabling session hijacking, data theft, or defacement.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites using the Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin up to and including version 7.0.3 are vulnerable. All installations of these versions, regardless of site domain, are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 marks this vulnerability as moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated contributor‑level or higher account; the attacker can embed malicious scripts in shortcode attributes that the plugin stores and serves to all visitors.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check for an official patch or update from the plugin author and apply it if available
  • If no patch exists, modify the plugin code to properly escape or remove user‑supplied shortcode attributes so that scripts cannot be stored
  • Restrict contributor‑level and higher WordPress roles to the minimum required permissions and audit user accounts for suspicious activity
