Description
The Evenium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'evenium_single_event' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.11 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 Vulnerability allows authenticated WordPress users with contributor or higher permissions to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages via the Evenium plugin’s 'evenium_single_event' shortcode. The plugin fails to sanitize or escape user‑supplied shortcode attributes, meaning that malicious code injected during event creation is persisted and executed whenever the page is viewed. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other client‑side attacks against site visitors, compromising confidentiality and integrity of user data.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Evenium WordPress plugin version 1.3.11 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability exists in the plugin’s shortcode handling, which is part of the WordPress content editing interface. Users of these plugin versions should be aware that any contributor‑level role can activate the attack vector.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 denotes moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Although exploitation requires authenticated access with contributor or higher privileges, the persistent nature of the stored script means that once injected it can impact all users who view the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Evenium plugin to a version newer than 1.3.11.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, eliminate use of the 'evenium_single_event' shortcode in content or restrict contributor‑level roles from editing or publishing posts containing it.
  • Implement a site‑wide Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts or restricts execution to trusted sources.
