WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Community Events 1.4.9 - 1.5.9 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS via Event Submission Form

Description

The plugin does not have authorisation or nonce checks when processing public event submissions, and does not escape several of the submitted values before outputting them in the administration dashboard and on the public calendar, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute in the browser of an administrator reviewing the submission.
