CVE-2026-1649 PUBLISHED

Community Events <= 1.5.7 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'ce_venue_name' Parameter

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 29.01.2026 Published: 18.02.2026 Updated: 18.02.2026

The Community Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ce_venue_name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
