Summary
  • (es) El complemento Events Calendar de WordPress anterior a la versión 6.6.4 no depura ni escapa de algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con privilegios elevados como el administrador realizar ataques de Cross-Site Scripting almacenado incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en una configuración de varios sitios).
