The WP Event Aggregator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp_events' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
