Descriptions

Unvalidated input and lack of output encoding in the Modern Events Calendar Lite WordPress plugin, versions before 5.16.5, did not sanitise the mic_comment field (Notes on time) when adding/editing an event, allowing users with privilege as low as author to add events with a Cross-Site Scripting payload in them, which will be triggered in the frontend when viewing the event.

Una entrada no comprobada y una falta de codificación de salida en el plugin de WordPress Modern Events Calendar Lite, versiones anteriores a 5.16.5, no sanean el campo mic_comment (Notas a tiempo) cuando agrega y edita un evento, permitiendo a usuarios con privilegios tan bajos como el autor para agregar eventos con una carga útil de tipo Cross-Site Scripting en ellos, que será activada en el frontend cuando se visualiza el evento
