CVE-2025-6976: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in netweblogic Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!
The Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6976 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the netweblogic Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! WordPress plugin. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes when those pages are viewed by others. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 7.0.3. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with attack vector network, low attack complexity, privileges required at the contributor level, no user interaction needed, scope changed, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected website. This can lead to theft of user session data, defacement, or other malicious actions impacting confidentiality and integrity of the site and its users. There is no indication of impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the vulnerable plugin's shortcodes. Monitor official vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
