Stored XSS via unsanitized disabled-booking message
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Stored XSS in Easy!Appointments before 1.6.0 allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript in visitors' browsers. The booking settings controller stores disable_booking_message rich text without sanitization, and booking_message.php renders it without escaping. Administrator access and disabled-booking mode are required; opening the public page then executes the stored script in each visitor's browser.
