Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider implementing additional input validation or output escaping controls at the application or web server level to mitigate exploitation risk.
Description
The Certifica WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘evento’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
