Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress user account with at least contributor-level role (PR:L). The My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager plugin must be installed and active on the target site. The attacker must be able to create or edit posts/pages that use My Calendar shortcodes. Exploitation is limited to sites where contributor or higher roles are granted to potentially untrusted users - single-administrator WordPress sites are not meaningfully at risk. The injected payload requires a victim to load the page containing the malicious shortcode to trigger execution (stored XSS - passive victim requirement). No special plugin configuration beyond installation is required.

Impact

The provided CVSS 6.4 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects network-reachable stored XSS with scope change, but UI:N is likely overstated for stored XSS - a victim must visit the injected page, which per standard CVSS guidance for stored XSS constitutes UI:R, reducing the realistic score to approximately 5.4. The PR:L constraint (contributor-level authentication) meaningfully limits the attack surface compared to unauthenticated XSS, though multi-author WordPress sites commonly grant contributor access broadly. No KEV listing, no POC code identified, and no EPSS data provided - real-world exploitation risk is moderate and opportunistic rather than urgent. The primary concern is multi-author publishing environments where contributor-level access is widely distributed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with contributor credentials logs into a WordPress site and creates or edits a post embedding a My Calendar shortcode with a malicious payload in the 'substitute', 'before', or 'after' attribute - for example, injecting a script that steals the visitor's session cookie. When any site visitor (including administrators) loads the affected page, the script executes silently in their browser, potentially granting the attacker session tokens with elevated privileges. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, but the straightforward nature of the flaw makes independent reproduction trivial.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 09, 2026

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager WordPress plugin (≤3.8.3) allows any authenticated contributor to inject persistent JavaScript into site pages via unsanitized shortcode attributes. The payload executes in the browsers of all users who subsequently visit the affected page, potentially enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or malicious redirects. No active exploitation has been confirmed; an upstream fix commit is available on GitHub though a tagged release version has not been independently confirmed.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available via GitHub commit 89bbf7314fac84cdb89e520e8b7b6d69eee8dd3c, which applies wp_kses_post() sanitization to the affected output points; a formally tagged patched release version is not independently confirmed from available data - administrators should monitor the WordPress plugin repository for a version above 3.8.3 and update as soon as available. As an interim compensating control, restrict contributor-level role assignment to only fully trusted users, as WordPress's default role system allows contributors to publish shortcodes on pages. Disabling the My Calendar shortcode rendering in untrusted contexts via a capability filter is a lower-impact workaround but requires custom code. The workaround of restricting contributor access has the trade-off of impacting legitimate multi-author publishing workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability (CWE-79, Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) exists in the plugin's shortcode rendering functions - specifically in my-calendar-widgets.php within the my_calendar_upcoming_events() and my_calendar_todays_events() functions. The 'substitute' attribute (and reportedly 'before'/'after' attributes per the description) was passed through wp_unslash() and written directly into HTML output without sanitization. The fix applies wp_kses_post() to strip disallowed HTML and script content before rendering. CPE: cpe:2.3:a:joedolson:my_calendar_-_accessible_event_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The plugin is developed by Joe Dolson and targets accessibility-focused WordPress event management.

DescriptionCVE.org

The My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'before' and 'after' Shortcode Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.3 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.
