Impact
The plugin fails to escape event titles in the ticket history log, allowing any user with the Editor role or higher to inject JavaScript into a title. As the title is later rendered for higher‑privileged users on a multisite installation, the script executes in their browser context, creating a stored cross‑site scripting flaw (CWE‑79).
Affected Systems
The flaw exists in all releases of the Event Tickets and Registration WordPress plugin prior to version 5.28.4. Any WordPress site using that plugin on a multisite network and assigning Editor or higher roles is potentially vulnerable. Versions beyond the <5.28.4 threshold are not specified, but any older release satisfies the condition.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 3.5 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting exploitation is unlikely at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to have an Editor‑level login and to add a malicious title; once stored, the attack vector becomes a stored XSS that can impact users with higher privileges across the multisite network.
