Impact

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) occurs in WordPress Bookly plugin versions 27.7 and earlier. The flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript that runs in the browsers of site visitors, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or data theft. The potential impact is inferred from the nature of XSS and is not explicitly stated in the CVE description. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Bookly responsive appointment booking tool installed, with plugin versions 27.7 or older, are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is unauthenticated, so any visitor can trigger the payload, but exploitation is not mandatory. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
