WordPress Events Manager Plugin Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

The Events Manager plugin for WordPress is prone to multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Events Manager 5.3.3 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
