Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account on the target WordPress site (CVSS PR:L), so the attacker must be able to register or already possess at least a low-privilege login - this is the primary limiting factor. The core precondition is the plugin's incorrectly configured access-control check, which allows a user-controlled key/identifier to reference objects belonging to other users (classic IDOR). No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and no special non-default feature toggle is named in the description; the flaw is present in Event post versions from n/a through 6.1.1. Realistic risk is highest on sites permitting open or untrusted user registration and negligible on sites with no low-privilege external accounts.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR / CWE-639) issue in the WordPress 'Event post' plugin, scored CVSS 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N. The signals are internally consistent: network vector with low attack complexity, but it requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L), and impact is confined to integrity (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability effect - meaning an attacker can modify/manipulate objects (e.g. event posts) belonging to other users but cannot read protected data or crash the service through this flaw. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, so despite the 'network' vector the real-world risk is bounded by the authentication requirement and the integrity-only impact. This is a legitimate but second-tier fix - not an emergency - and the priority is highest for sites that allow untrusted user registration. Note: no EPSS data was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers or obtains a low-privilege account on a WordPress site running Event post ≤ 6.1.1, then sends a request that references another user's event object by manipulating a user-controlled identifier (key). Because access control is incorrectly enforced, the server honors the request and lets the attacker modify event content that does not belong to them. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and no user interaction is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026

Authorization bypass through a user-controlled key in the WordPress 'Event Post' plugin (NOUS Ouvert Utile et Simple), affecting all versions through 6.1.1, allows an authenticated low-privilege user to reference and manipulate event objects belonging to other users by supplying a crafted identifier. The flaw is a classic IDOR (CWE-639) caused by an incorrectly configured access-control check, rated CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) - integrity impact only, with no confidentiality or availability loss and no user interaction required. The primary precondition is that the attacker holds any authenticated account on the target site, so exposure is greatest on sites that permit open or untrusted user registration; no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released fixed version appears in the available advisory data.

RemediationAI

The available advisory data does not identify a vendor-released fixed version, so no confirmed patched release exists at time of analysis - the Patchstack entry (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/event-post/vulnerability/wordpress-event-post-plugin-6-1-1-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) should be monitored for an updated, fixed build and the plugin upgraded immediately once one is published. Until then, prioritize compensating controls: disable open user registration and remove or deactivate any untrusted or dormant low-privilege accounts, since a valid login is the sole prerequisite for exploitation (the trade-off is that legitimate self-service registration stops working); if the plugin's event-management functionality is not needed, deactivate and remove it entirely, which closes the attack surface with no residual risk but eliminates the feature set; restrict the ability to create or edit events to trusted roles such as Administrator or Editor and audit role assignments for over-permissioned accounts, accepting that delegated publishing workflows may be disrupted; and deploy virtual patching or WAF rules that block or alert on requests where a submitted post/event identifier does not match the authenticated user's own objects, understanding that identifier-ownership rules must be tuned per site to avoid false positives on legitimate shared-content workflows. Given the integrity-only, authenticated attack surface, patching or removal remain strongly preferred over long-term reliance on filtering.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) mapped to CWE-639, 'Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key.' In WordPress plugin architecture, object-level operations (creating, editing, or deleting posts/events) are typically exposed through admin-ajax.php actions, REST API routes, or admin-post.php handlers that accept a caller-supplied post ID or similar key. This class of bug arises when a handler verifies that the request came from a logged-in user - or even checks a nonce - but fails to verify that the referenced object is owned by, or editable by, that user. The resulting access-control decision is effectively driven by the attacker-controlled key rather than by an ownership or capability check. The supplied CPE (cpe:2.3:a:nous_ouvert_utile_et_simple:event_post:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms the affected component is the Event Post WordPress plugin published by NOUS Ouvert Utile et Simple, and the version range runs from n/a through 6.1.1. Because the CVSS vector carries PR:L with UI:N, the attack is performed over the network by an already-authenticated user with no victim interaction, and the sole demonstrated impact is integrity (I:H) against event records - there is no demonstrated path to privilege escalation, code execution, or data exfiltration in the assessed vector.
