Descriptions

The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Event Calendar Link Widget through the html_tag attribute in all versions up to, and including, 6.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

El complemento Events Calendar para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting almacenado a través del widget de enlace Calendario de eventos mediante el atributo html_tag en todas las versiones hasta la 6.9.0 incluida, debido a una desinfección de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, inyecten secuencias de comandos web arbitrarias en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
