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.
