Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input in the 'bookingcalendar' shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages, which then execute whenever any user views those pages.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions performed on behalf of the user without their consent.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
The immediate step to mitigate this vulnerability is to update the Booking Calendar plugin to version 10.14.7 or later, which includes comprehensive fixes addressing CVE-2025-12804 by patching core components and improving data handling to prevent stored cross-site scripting attacks. [2]
