WordPress · The Events Manager · CVE-2024-5889
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
The Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.4.8
Description:
The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `country` parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Recommendations:
For versions up to, and including, 6.4.8, update to a version higher than 6.4.8 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `country` parameter until a patch is available.
