Vulnerability in Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! — CVE-2025-14945
What to do now
Update Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! to 7.3.4 or later.
Affected versions
- Everything up to and including 7.3.3
Affected: Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! (plugin, events-manager)
What the vulnerability is
The Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via event attribute values in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization when storing attribute values (using only `wp_unslash()` without sanitization) and lack of output escaping when rendering the '#_ATT{key}' placeholder. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, or unauthenticated attackers when anonymous event submissions are enabled, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when any user views the affected event page.
