Stored XSS in Events Manager WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-09-05

Last updated on: 2026-09-05

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via event attribute values in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization when storing attribute values (using only `wp_unslash()` without sanitization) and lack of output escaping when rendering the '#_ATT{key}' placeholder. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, or unauthenticated attackers when anonymous event submissions are enabled, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when any user views the affected event page.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the Events Manager WordPress plugin. It allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into event attribute values due to insufficient input sanitization and lack of output escaping. The issue affects versions up to 7.3.3.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect WordPress sites running the Events Manager plugin versions up to 7.3.3. Check for malicious scripts in event attribute values or stored in the #_ATT{key} placeholder. Review server logs for unusual event submissions or unauthorized script injections.

Impact Analysis

Authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher can exploit this to inject scripts. Unauthenticated attackers can also exploit it if anonymous event submissions are enabled. The injected scripts execute when users view the affected event page, potentially stealing data or performing actions on their behalf.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to data breaches, compromising personal or sensitive information. For GDPR, it may result in unauthorized access to user data, violating principles of data protection. For HIPAA, it could expose protected health information, leading to compliance violations and legal consequences.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Events Manager plugin to the latest version beyond 7.3.3. Disable anonymous event submissions if enabled. Implement strict input validation for event attributes. Review and remove any suspicious scripts from stored events.
