Event Espress + SiteLock = XSS Alerts re: iCal

Good Morning,

So in order to enhance the security of my client, I am implementing SiteLock into their system, primarily for PCI Compliance since they’re accepting CC#s for Event Registration.

I’m using Event Espresso: 3.1 (latest update)

The SiteLock scan of my site came back with critical XSS Vulnerabilities related to, I believe, the iCal part of the site (I think it’s the link you click to add the event to your calendar)

Here’s the Error

<strong>URL</strong>:https://www.DOMAIN.com?iCal=true&currentyear=2014&currentmonth=09&currentday=20&currenttime=151506&event_id=7&a
mp;registration_id=buofsedq6fnl10bt3u9v47gaq0-541dd1f309c5c2.47376271&contact_email=*EMAIL*&startyear=2014&sta
rtmonth=09&startday=22&starttime=080000&endyear=2014&endmonth=09&endday=26&endtime=170000&event_summar
y=*EVENT*
(PSC55)&eereg_url=https:/www.DOMAIN.com/=https:/www.DOMAIN.com

<strong>Cross site scripting vulnerability found in </strong>
args:contact_email,currentday,currentmonth,currenttime,currentyear,eereg_url,endday,endmonth,endtime,endyear,event_id,event_summary,iCa
l,location,organization,registration_id,site_url,startday,startmonth,starttime,startyear

I’ve removed the Email, Domain, and Event name from the error for safety reasons.

I need to fix these – the obvious method would be to remove the iCal feature – but they really like that aspect of it.

Any thoughts?

We are preparing a release which fixes it. After you perform the next update, you should be able to reactivate the iCal feature without the alert.
