CWE-79Published: May 13, 2014· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

4.3

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Events Manager plugin before 5.3.5 and Events Manager Pro plugin before 2.2.9 for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) scope parameter to index.php; (2) user_name, (3) dbem_phone, (4) user_email, or (5) booking_comment parameter to an event with registration enabled; or the (6) _wpnonce parameter to wp-admin/edit.php.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2013-1407 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
