CVE-2026-60119 — Hi.Events < 1.11.0 XSS via Event Title JSON.stringify Injection
Hi.Events before 1.11.0 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with event creation or edit permissions to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript by embedding a malicious event title containing the </script> sequence, which is not escaped by JSON.stringify() when embedded in inline script tags. Attackers can craft an event title that breaks out of the script context in the application/ld+json structured data block or server-side rehydrated state, causing the payload to execute in the browser of any user who views the public event page, including unauthenticated visitors and authenticated administrators.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (medium)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (HiEventsDev Hi.Events).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Exploitation requires user interaction: tighten email/web filtering and warn affected users.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Audit administrative actions and access to resources outside each user’s normal pattern.
