CVE-2024-8701 describes a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the events-calendar WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.0.4. This flaw allows high-privilege users, such as administrators, to inject malicious scripts due to insufficient sanitization of plugin settings, even when unfiltered_html is disabled, particularly in multisite environments. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 4.8), the attack requires high privileges and user interaction, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
