No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49181/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49181/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-49181","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49181/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-49181","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xxx9-8q88-3qrf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the WP Event Manager plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"wp_event_manager","vendor":"wp-eventmanager"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in WP Event Manager WP Event Manager – Events Calendar, Registrations, Sell Tickets with WooCommerce allows Stored XSS.This issue affects WP Event Manager – Events Calendar, Registrations, Sell Tickets with WooCommerce: from n/a through 3.1.40.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress WP Event Manager Plugin \u003c= 3.1.40 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49181","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in List all posts by Authors, nested Categories and Titles","id":"CVE-2023-49182"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Automatic Youtube Video Posts Plugin Plugin \u003c= 5.2.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49180"},"products":["WP Event Manager – Events Calendar, Registrations, Sell Tickets with WooCommerce"],"published":"2023-12-15","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"WP Event Manager \u003c= 3.1.50 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'organizer_name'","id":"CVE-2025-2800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-16"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress WP Event Manager Plugin \u003c= 3.1.39 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-47697","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress WP User Profile Avatar Plugin \u003c= 1.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-52118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-01"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in WP Event Manager – Events Calendar, Registrations, Sell Tickets with WooCommerce","id":"CVE-2024-2691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-16"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"WP Event Manager \u003c= 3.1.41 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via plugin","id":"CVE-2024-0976","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"WP Event Manager \u003c 3.1.28 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-1474","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["WP Event Manager"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the WP Event Manager plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49181/"}
