Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of any WordPress site running the WpEvently (Mage Eventpress) plugin at version 5.3.3 or earlier, per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. Limiting factors: the plugin must be installed and activated (it is not a core WordPress component), the vulnerable endpoint must be reachable (sites that gate /wp-json or admin-ajax behind a WAF or IP allowlist reduce exposure), and the impact is constrained to integrity (I:H) - confidentiality and availability are unaffected per the vector, so this is a data-modification flaw rather than a takeover or data-theft primitive.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:N/I:H/A:N) yields 7.5 and signals an internet-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated write/modify primitive - a profile that historically draws opportunistic scanning of WordPress plugin estates. However, several signals are weak or contradictory and warrant caution: the Patchstack tag is 'Information Disclosure' yet the vector shows C:N and I:H, which are inconsistent (information disclosure would normally be C:H, I:N) - one of the two classifications is likely wrong, and defenders should not rely on either as authoritative. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was provided, and the only reference is the Patchstack database stub, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified. Treat as a credible mid-tier WordPress plugin advisory rather than a confirmed urgent threat until the specific affected endpoint and patched version are published.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker enumerates WordPress sites running the WpEvently plugin via plugin-path fingerprinting, then sends a single crafted HTTP request to an unauthenticated plugin endpoint supplying an out-of-range numeric value (for example a negative or overflowing ticket quantity, attendee index, or order identifier) to manipulate stored event, booking, or order records. Because the change is server-side and unauthenticated, this can be performed at scale against indexed WordPress installations; no public PoC was identified at the time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026

Unauthenticated integrity compromise in the WpEvently WordPress plugin (versions 5.3.3 and earlier) by MagePeople allows remote attackers to alter application data over the network without privileges or user interaction. The vendor-supplied description is a Patchstack placeholder ('Other Vulnerability Type') and does not identify the specific endpoint or function, but the CVSS vector indicates high integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the Patchstack record (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/mage-eventpress/vulnerability/wordpress-wpevently-plugin-5-3-3-other-vulnerability-type-vulnerability) lists 5.3.3 as the latest affected version without naming a fixed release, so administrators should monitor the MagePeople plugin page on WordPress.org and upgrade to any release greater than 5.3.3 as soon as it is published. Until a fix ships, compensating controls include deactivating the WpEvently plugin on sites that do not actively use event management (eliminates exposure but removes ticketing functionality), restricting access to plugin REST and admin-ajax endpoints (e.g., /wp-json/wpevently/* and admin-ajax.php actions prefixed with wpevently or mep_) at a WAF or reverse proxy (may block legitimate front-end booking actions), and enabling Patchstack or Wordfence virtual patching for this CVE (depends on vendor signature coverage and an active subscription).

Technical ContextAI · show details

WpEvently (CPE cpe:2.3:a:magepeople_inc.:wpevently) is the MagePeople 'Mage Eventpress' event management plugin for WordPress, used to publish, sell, and manage event tickets and bookings. CWE-1284 (Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input) describes a class where the application accepts user-supplied values representing counts, indexes, or sizes without validating they fall within expected ranges - common in event/ticketing logic for fields such as ticket quantity, seat count, price, or attendee identifiers. Combined with PR:N, this typically points to an unauthenticated REST or admin-ajax endpoint that processes a numeric parameter the plugin trusts to be bounded.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WpEvently WordPress plugin (versions 5.3.3 and earlier) contains an unauthenticated vulnerability allowing remote attackers to alter application data without authorization or user interaction. Organizations using this plugin on public-facing WordPress sites face uncontrolled data manipulation risks, with potential impact to event data integrity and user-facing content. Remediation is urgent because no patch is currently available from the vendor.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable WpEvently plugin if operationally feasible and migrate managed data to alternative solution; (2) Restrict plugin functionality to authenticated, authorized users via WordPress role-based access controls; (3) Implement Web Application Firewall rules to block POST/PUT/PATCH requests to WpEvently endpoints from untrusted networks; (4) Enable detailed WordPress audit logging to detect and alert on unauthorized data modifications; (5) Subscribe to MagePeople security announcements for patch release notification.
