CVE-2018-13137
The Events Manager plugin 5.9.4 for WordPress has XSS via the dbem_event_reapproved_email_body parameter to the wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=event&page=events-manager-options URI.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
