MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid WordPress account with at minimum subscriber-level access on the target site. The attacker must be authenticated (PR:L per CVSS); unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. The target site must have the Eventin plugin installed and active at a version ≤4.1.17. If subscriber-level registration is disabled and all accounts are trusted internal users, the exploitable attack surface is substantially reduced. No additional non-default configuration is required beyond plugin installation. The impact is limited to notification flow workflow management; it does not provide file system access, database access, or arbitrary code execution. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (Medium) accurately reflects the constrained impact - an attacker can only manipulate notification automation workflows, not achieve code execution or access sensitive site data. CVSS PR:L confirms authenticated access is required, limiting the attacker pool to accounts with at minimum subscriber-level WordPress access. Attack complexity is low (AC:L), and no user interaction is needed. EPSS data is not provided; without KEV status or confirmed POC, real-world exploitation likelihood is moderate at best. The practical risk is primarily sabotage of event notification workflows (breaking automated emails) or intelligence gathering about internal automation configurations, rather than site takeover. This is a priority fix for multi-tenant WordPress environments (e.g., membership sites where subscriber accounts are externally registered) but is lower urgency on tightly controlled sites where subscriber registration is closed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or obtains a subscriber-level WordPress account on a target site running Eventin ≤4.1.17. They then send authenticated REST API or AJAX requests to the FlowAPI endpoints, bypassing administrator-only authorization checks to enumerate, modify, or delete all notification automation workflows. No POC has been publicly identified, but the vulnerability is straightforward to discover from plugin source code inspection. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 09, 2026
Authorization bypass in Eventin - Event Calendar plugin for WordPress (all versions ≤4.1.17) allows authenticated subscriber-level users to fully manage notification flow automation workflows restricted to administrators. Exploitation requires only a low-privilege WordPress account, enabling unauthorized read, create, update, clone, and delete operations on event automation configurations. No public exploit or KEV listing identified; vendor-released patch 4.1.18 resolves the flaw.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Eventin plugin to version 4.1.18 or later, which contains a corrected FlowAPI.php that enforces proper capability checks before allowing workflow operations. The fix is documented in WordPress SVN changeset 3612206 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3612206/wp-event-solution/trunk/vendor/themewinter/email-notification-sdk/src/Flow/FlowAPI.php). If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable subscriber-level self-registration on the WordPress site to prevent untrusted external users from obtaining the minimum required access level. As an additional hardening measure, review existing notification workflows for unauthorized modifications. The Wordfence advisory is available at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/560a3102-c274-450f-9119-ea47ee2e7c65.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Eventin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:arraytics:eventin_-_event_calendar,_tickets,_registration,_booking_&_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a WordPress event management plugin by Arraytics that bundles a third-party SDK ('themewinter/email-notification-sdk'). The vulnerable code resides in the SDK's FlowAPI.php (line 66 in the 4.1.17 tag), which registers REST API or AJAX handlers for workflow CRUD operations without performing adequate capability checks. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) is the root cause: the plugin registers actions accessible to any authenticated user without verifying that the caller holds an administrator role, violating the principle of least privilege that WordPress's capability system is designed to enforce.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Eventin - Event Calendar, Event Registration, Tickets & Booking (AI Powered) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.17. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to view, create, update, clone, and delete notification flow event automation workflows that should be restricted to administrators.
