AI-suggested

Upgrade the Community Events WordPress plugin to version 1.6.0 or later, where authorization and nonce checks are implemented and input values are properly escaped. If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the event submission and administration interfaces to trusted users only.

Description

The Community Events WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.6.0 lack authorization and nonce checks for processing public event submissions. Additionally, several submitted values are not properly escaped before being displayed in the admin dashboard and public calendar. This allows unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the browsers of administrators reviewing the submissions.
