Technical details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Bookly (Responsive Appointment Booking Tool) plugin for WordPress due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML payloads. Successful exploitation requires a user to perform an action, such as clicking a specially crafted link (User Interaction). Because the vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), an attacker could potentially access sensitive information like session cookies or perform actions on behalf of an authenticated administrator. The issue is resolved in version 27.8.
