CVE-2024-6931: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in stellarwp The Events Calendar
The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via RSVP name field in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.3 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-6931 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 6.6.3. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the RSVP name field, which allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, scope changed, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of users visiting the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider applying temporary mitigations such as disabling or restricting the RSVP feature if feasible, or implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious input targeting the RSVP name field. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches promptly once released.
