CVE-2022-25612Network attack vector

Authenticated persistent XSS via event fields

Published Mar 25, 2022 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site scripting in PressTigers Simple Event Planner 1.5.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject script via event fields. The plugin stores attacker-controlled values from custom[event_organiser], custom[organiser_email], and custom[organiser_contact] and later renders them without adequate output neutralization, producing persistent script execution in a viewer’s browser. Author-level or higher WordPress access is required, and a victim must load the affected event content; the demonstrated impact is integrity loss in the web session rather than server-side code execution.
