Reflected XSS via unescaped calendar header
Published Jul 9, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Reflected XSS in Marcus Sykes Events Manager through 6.6.4.4 and 7.0.1 through 7.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute scripts. The calendar navigation template outputs the attacker-controlled calendar_header value into page markup without sufficient sanitization or contextual escaping. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to induce a user to open a crafted link, after which injected script runs in the user's browser.
