The Events Calendar WordPress plugin before 6.17.3.1 does not restrict non-public content to the users entitled to read it on its public REST archives, allowing users with a low-privilege role such as contributor to read the full contents of every unpublished record on the site, including other users'.
AnalysisAI
The Events Calendar WordPress plugin before 6.17.3.1 exposes unpublished site content - drafts, pending posts, and private records from all users - through its public REST API archive endpoints to any contributor-level authenticated user.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session at contributor level or above on the target site; unauthenticated requests are insufficient, and subscriber-only accounts are likely excluded based on the description's wording ('low-privilege role such as contributor'). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, score 2.7) contains a material discrepancy: it assigns PR:H (high privilege required), but the description explicitly states exploitation is possible with 'a low-privilege role such as contributor.' In WordPress's role hierarchy, contributor is PR:L, not PR:H. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update The Events Calendar plugin to version 6.17.3.1 or later via the WordPress plugin dashboard or wp-cli ('wp plugin update the-events-calendar'); this is the vendor-confirmed fix per the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/cf23ee00-322c-4443-a50d-a91f90d179aa/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
