At a glance

CVE-2026-10148 is a medium-severity Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in the Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.4.9. It carries a CVSS score of 6.4 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Contributor level or above. The issue is fixed in version 2.4.10; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2026, reported by Nguyen Anh Quan (prototw).

Vulnerability Overview

The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple Elementor widgets in versions up to and including 2.4.9. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'load_manually' parameter in the render() methods of classes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above who can use Elementor, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.4.8.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar <= 2.4.9 carries this weakness at load_manually, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. Cross-site scripting happens when input from a request is written into a page without being escaped for the context it lands in, so the browser parses attacker-supplied text as markup or script.

Injected script runs with the privileges of whoever views the affected page, which is how these flaws turn into administrator session theft, silent account creation or persistent backdoors in page content. For Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar the fix is 2.4.10: builds <= 2.4.9 are affected, anything from 2.4.10 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2.4.10, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

An attacker needs Contributor access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar 2.4.10 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
