Description
The CP Multi View Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'CalendarTitle' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.42 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires that an administrator has enabled the "Allow edition in frontend?" option on at least one calendar view, which exposes the unauthenticated add endpoint and a publicly accessible nonce.

AI Analysis

Impact

The CP Multi View Events Calendar plugin for WordPress accepts a 'CalendarTitle' parameter that is written to the database without proper sanitization or escaping. Unauthenticated users can provide arbitrary script payloads when the plugin’s frontend editing feature is enabled, resulting in stored cross‑site scripting that executes whenever a visitor loads a page containing the injected title. The injected code runs in the context of each site user, allowing an attacker to perform malicious actions such as defacing the page or executing arbitrary JavaScript.

Affected Systems

All WordPress installations that have installed codepeople CP Multi View Events Calendar version 1.4.42 or earlier are affected, but the vulnerability can only be exploited when an administrator has enabled the "Allow edition in frontend?" option. This setting exposes a publicly available add endpoint and a nonce, creating an unauthenticated injection path.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.2 indicates a high‑severity stored XSS with moderate complexity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low exploitation likelihood at the time of this analysis. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker only needs unauthenticated network access to the add endpoint, making the attack surface significant for sites that have left frontend editing enabled.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the CP Multi View Events Calendar plugin to the latest release (1.4.43 or newer).
  • If upgrading immediately is not possible, disable the "Allow edition in frontend?" setting to eliminate the unauthenticated add endpoint.
  • Delete any existing calendar titles that contain malicious scripts by removing or editing them through the plugin’s admin interface.
