| Exploitation Conditions | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no special conditions are required - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against any WordPress installation with WP Event Solution 4.1.9 or earlier installed and activated. No specific non-default configuration is required; the alternate authentication path is present in the default plugin deployment. Limiting factors: exploitation impact is bounded to partial confidentiality and limited integrity (C:L/I:L) - the bypass does not grant WordPress administrative privileges or operating-system-level access. The plugin must be active (not merely installed) for the vulnerable endpoints to be registered and reachable. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.5 Medium score is supported by the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, indicating a network-exploitable, low-complexity flaw requiring no privileges or user interaction. Impact is constrained to partial confidentiality and limited integrity (C:L/I:L/A:N), meaning the bypass likely enables unauthorized access to event data or limited plugin functionality - not full site or server compromise. No EPSS score was provided in available data, and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation. No public proof-of-concept has been identified. Despite the zero-prerequisite exploitation path, the bounded C:L/I:L impact caps the operational severity; this should nevertheless be treated as a priority for WordPress environments running the affected plugin given the trivial exploitation conditions. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running WP Event Solution ≤4.1.9 and sends a crafted HTTP request directly to an alternate plugin endpoint - such as an unprotected AJAX action or REST API route - that bypasses the plugin's normal capability checks. The attacker retrieves event-related data (information disclosure) or performs limited unauthorized modifications to plugin content without possessing any WordPress credentials. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so exploitation currently requires independent discovery or reverse-engineering of the bypass path. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 06, 2026
Broken authentication in WP Event Solution WordPress plugin (versions ≤4.1.9) permits unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication controls via an alternate path or channel (CWE-288), resulting in limited information disclosure and partial integrity impact. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this is exploitable over the network with no credentials and no user interaction required against any WordPress installation running the affected plugin. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update WP Event Solution to a version beyond 4.1.9 - the exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from available data, so administrators should verify the current safe version directly via the WordPress plugin repository or the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-event-solution/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-event-solution-plugin-4-1-9-broken-authentication-vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, temporarily deactivate the plugin to remove the attack surface entirely, accepting the trade-off of losing all event management functionality. As a partial compensating control, a web application firewall (WAF) with WordPress-specific ruleset (e.g., Patchstack vPatch, Wordfence, or Cloudflare's WordPress managed ruleset) may block exploitation attempts targeting unauthenticated plugin endpoints, though this does not remediate the underlying flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WP Event Solution is a WordPress plugin developed by Arraytics (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:arraytics:wp_event_solution:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) used for managing and displaying events on WordPress sites. The root cause is CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel), a class in which an application exposes a secondary code path - such as an unauthenticated REST API endpoint, AJAX handler (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php), or direct file inclusion - that does not enforce the same authentication checks as the primary interface. This pattern is endemic to WordPress plugin development, where contributors may register AJAX or REST routes without the required capability checks or nonce validation, inadvertently creating authentication bypass vectors accessible to any remote party.
