Script execution via unescaped generated URLs
Published Sep 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Reflected XSS in WP Simple Booking Calendar 2.0.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via a crafted link. Two admin views build URLs with add_query_arg() and remove_query_arg() and print them without output escaping. Exploitation requires no account but requires a user to follow the attacker-supplied URL; the script then runs in that user's browser under the site's origin.
