Details from the advisory
The Community Events WordPress plugin before 1.6.0 does not have authorisation or nonce checks when processing public event submissions, and does not escape several of the submitted values before outputting them in the administration dashboard and on the public calendar, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute in the browser of an administrator reviewing the submission.

Details from the advisory
The Community Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'ce_venue_name' CSV field in the `on_save_changes_venues` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.8. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied CSV data and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via a crafted CSV file upload.
