Summary

The Appointment Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress up to and including 1.4.05 has stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) through the vs_text_submitbtn parameter, due to missing input sanitization and output escaping. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access can inject scripts that run when users open the injected page, if an administrator has assigned them as calendar owner. On a default installation, Editor-level access is required.

Description from the CNA

The Appointment Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'vs_text_submitbtn' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.05 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires the attacker to be assigned as a calendar owner, a per-user grant that any administrator can extend to users as low as Subscriber level through the plugin's calendar list screen. Exploitation by attackers with subscriber-level access and above requires that an administrator has assigned the attacker's account as owner (`conwer`) of a calendar via the plugin's calendar list screen; the plugin's UI lists all registered users regardless of role, so a Subscriber can be assigned. On a default installation, where that is not configured, the vulnerability requires attackers with editor-level access and above.
