Executive brief
Events Made Easy is a WordPress plugin for creating and managing events and ticketing. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the plugin without authentication, potentially stealing visitor data, hijacking user accounts, or defacing the website. Organizations using this plugin should upgrade immediately to patch the flaw.
Technical details
This is an unauthenticated stored or reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Events Made Easy versions 3.2.5 and earlier. The plugin fails to properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input before rendering it in the web interface. An attacker can craft a malicious payload (typically via URL parameter or form field) that executes JavaScript in the context of the affected page, allowing script injection without requiring authentication. The vulnerability is exploitable via network vector and has user-interaction requirements. Patch version 3.2.6 resolves the issue; organizations should update immediately.
