Technical details

The Bookly plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'bookly-customer-full-name' cookie. An unauthenticated attacker can manipulate this cookie value to include arbitrary web scripts. These scripts are then stored and executed in the browser of any user who accesses a page where the customer name is displayed. This vulnerability requires the 'Remember personal information in cookies' setting to be enabled, which is disabled by default. A fix is available in versions following 27.2.
