What the vulnerability does
The Community Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via event details parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction and can impact users across different parts of the application. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 1.5.2 as soon as a patch becomes available.
What an attacker can do
