MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires only a valid low-privilege authenticated account (Subscriber) per the CVSS PR:L metric - practically exploitable wherever open user registration is enabled, which is common on sites using an event-booking plugin. The specific prerequisite is that the site runs Modern Events Calendar Lite before 7.37.0 and has at least one booking record to disclose. The vulnerable booking/attendee data endpoint performs no capability, nonce, or ownership checks, so no admin role, no CSRF token, and no record ownership is needed. Limiting factors: exploitation is not possible by a fully unauthenticated attacker (an account is required), there is no integrity or availability impact (read-only disclosure), and impact is confined to data handled by the plugin's booking module. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a critical one. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N = 4.3) confirms network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low privileges (any logged-in Subscriber) with no user interaction and no integrity or availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists (WPScan), which raises practical risk and lowers the skill barrier, but there is no CISA KEV listing and SSVC records Exploitation as 'none', so there is no evidence of active exploitation - treat the POC as proof-of-concept, not confirmed in-the-wild abuse. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. SSVC (Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial) aligns with the low CVSS: the flaw leaks data but does not grant system control and is not described as automatable at scale. The signals are consistent with each other - a real, easy-to-exploit confidentiality leak of moderate impact. The one point worth independent scrutiny is impact scope: the description says EVERY booking's names, emails, transaction IDs and payment amounts are exposed, which is bulk PII/financial disclosure; the vendor-rated C:L may understate this, as mass PII exposure is arguably a high confidentiality impact (see assessed vector). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a free Subscriber account on any WordPress site running Modern Events Calendar Lite below 7.37.0 - self-registration is commonly enabled on event/booking sites. They then invoke the unprotected booking/attendee endpoint, which performs no capability, nonce, or ownership check, and receive the full list of every booking including attendee names, email addresses, transaction IDs and payment amounts. A publicly available exploit (WPScan) demonstrates the request, so no original research is needed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026
Modern Events Calendar Lite before 7.37.0 exposes the personal and payment details of every event booking to any authenticated user, including Subscribers, because its booking-data endpoint lacks capability, nonce, and ownership checks. Publicly available exploit code exists, but exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account, making sites with open registration the most likely targets. The result is a read-only confidentiality breach of names, email addresses, transaction IDs, and payment amounts, assessed as a moderate-priority information disclosure rather than a critical compromise.
RemediationAI
Update Modern Events Calendar Lite to version 7.37.0 or later; this is the vendor-released patch that adds capability, nonce, and ownership checks to the booking-data endpoint. If immediate upgrading is not possible, disable open user registration or restrict new account creation to trusted users, because the attack requires an authenticated Subscriber-level account-this may impact community or membership features that rely on self-registration. As a detective control, review web server and WAF logs for requests to the plugin's booking endpoints from low-privilege accounts and audit any exposed booking data for signs of phishing or fraud. Consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/5d5a24fe-1fb9-48ae-bd5c-de95b04c5f21/ and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-110069 for additional details.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a WordPress plugin information-disclosure flaw (CWE-200) in the booking and attendee data handling of Modern Events Calendar Lite. The plugin registers an endpoint that returns booking records but fails to call WordPress authorization primitives such as current_user_can(), check_ajax_referer()/wp_verify_nonce(), or an ownership check before serving the data. Consequently, any authenticated session-even a Subscriber with no event-management role-can retrieve all bookings because the code treats authentication as sufficient authorization. The exposed fields include PII (attendee names, email addresses) and payment metadata (transaction IDs, amounts), which are useful for targeted phishing, invoice fraud, and privacy violations. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:unknown:modern_events_calendar_lite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* reflects that the CPE dictionary has not assigned a vendor/product name, and the plugin's affected range is all versions before 7.37.0.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The Modern Events Calendar Lite WordPress plugin before 7.37.0 does not perform capability, nonce, or ownership checks before returning event booking and attendee data, allowing any authenticated user, including Subscribers, to disclose the names, email addresses, transaction IDs and payment amounts of every booking on the site.
