Overview

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The QuickCal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Custom Field Parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.20 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The nonce guarding the unauthenticated booked_add_appt AJAX action is publicly embedded on any page rendering the booking calendar shortcode, making it trivially obtainable by unauthenticated attackers without any prior account or privilege.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
