DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Events Manager
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "_wpnonce" GET parameter to wp-admin/edit.php
(when "post_type" is set to "event" and "page" is set to
"events-manager-bookings") and the "scope[0]" and "scope[1]" POST
parameters to the event search form is not properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.
2) Input passed via the "booking_comment" POST parameter to index.php
(when "event" is set to a valid event ID) is not properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
registrations for an event are enabled (disabled by default).
3) Input passed via the "user_name", "dbem_phone", and "user_email"
GET parameters to index.php (when "event" is set to a valid event ID)
is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
registrations for an event are enabled (disabled by default) and the
victim is logged out.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.3.3. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.3.4.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
