MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions beyond the plugin being installed and reachable - the injection is in the 'email' parameter of the EventON - Subscriber plugin and is exploitable by unauthenticated remote attackers (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) against affected installations up to and including version 1.4.5. The limiting factors are deployment-specific: the target site must have the EventON - Subscriber add-on active and the vulnerable endpoint internet-accessible, and only versions ≤1.4.5 are affected (updating past 1.4.5 removes exposure). Impact is confined to confidentiality (database read/exfiltration); no data modification or denial of service is indicated by the CVSS vector. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely prioritizable flaw. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated SQL injection with no user interaction, which aligns cleanly with the description's claim of exploitation by 'unauthenticated attackers' via the 'email' parameter. The 7.5 base score is driven entirely by confidentiality (C:H), with I:N/A:N, consistent with a data-exfiltration-only generic/UNION-style injection rather than one enabling write or RCE. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the risk here is latent exploitability, not confirmed in-the-wild use. The absence of an SSVC decision and EPSS means automatability and real-world exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the data given. Net: a credible, easy-to-exploit unauthenticated information-disclosure bug on any exposed site running the affected plugin, warranting prompt patching, but currently without signals (KEV/EPSS/POC) that would escalate it to emergency status. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP request to a WordPress site running EventON - Subscriber (≤1.4.5) with a crafted value in the 'email' parameter that breaks out of the existing, insufficiently prepared SQL query. Because the input is neither escaped nor parameterized, the appended SQL executes and the attacker reads sensitive data (e.g., user records, password hashes, secrets) from the database. No public exploit was identified in the provided data, but low complexity and no authentication make weaponization straightforward. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the EventON - Subscriber WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 1.4.5) allows remote attackers to append arbitrary SQL clauses to the plugin's existing database queries through the 'email' parameter, enabling extraction of sensitive data such as user credentials, password hashes, and other site secrets. The defect is a classic CWE-89 input-handling failure - the parameter is neither escaped nor bound via prepared statements - and scores 7.5 with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability effect, reflecting a read-only exfiltration path. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, although the unauthenticated network vector, low attack complexity, and absence of user interaction make the flaw an attractive target for automated scanning against any internet-facing site with the add-on active.
RemediationAI
Upgrade EventON - Subscriber to a release later than 1.4.5; the independent assessment confirms that updating past 1.4.5 removes exposure, so any version above that boundary should be treated as the fixed baseline and verified against the vendor's changelog at https://myeventon.com/ before rollout, since no discrete patched version number was published in the available advisory data. If an immediate update cannot be staged, take the add-on out of the attack surface by deactivating and removing the plugin on sites that do not need subscriber capture - this eliminates the vulnerable request handler entirely at the cost of losing email/RSVP collection. Where the functionality must stay live, front the site with a WAF or a virtual-patching layer (the reporting vendor, Wordfence, supplies rules for its own product) and block or tightly rate-limit requests to the plugin's front-end endpoints that carry an 'email' parameter, accepting that legitimate subscription traffic may be filtered and that WAF coverage is a stopgap rather than a fix. After any suspected exposure window, review the database and web logs for UNION-style or error-based injection patterns, and rotate WordPress user passwords, salts/keys, and any secrets stored in wp_options, since injected queries can read the full contents of tables the WordPress database account can access.

Technical ContextAI · show details
EventON - Subscriber is an add-on for the EventON WordPress event calendar that handles subscriber/email capture, and it registers front-end request handlers that process user-supplied input directly. The vulnerable 'email' parameter is interpolated into an existing SQL statement without adequate escaping or parameter binding (CWE-89, Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), so an attacker can break out of the intended value context and inject additional query logic - for example UNION-based or boolean/time-based constructs - that the WordPress database user is permitted to execute. Because WordPress plugins typically share the site's single database account, successful injection exposes whatever that account can read: wp_users with password hashes, session tokens, configuration options, and any other plugin or custom table data. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:eventon:eventon_-_subscriber:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses an unbounded version wildcard, consistent with the vendor's advisory covering every release through 1.4.5; the flaw is reachable pre-authentication (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) because the affected handler is exposed on the public-facing side of the site rather than behind wp-admin or a nonce/capability check.

DescriptionCVE.org
The EventON - Subscriber plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'email' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Executive ViewAI
The EventON Subscriber WordPress plugin, in versions up to and including 1.4.5, contains a high-severity SQL injection flaw that could allow attackers to read sensitive site data, including user credentials and password hashes. With no vendor patch available, any organization running this plugin on an internet-facing WordPress site faces potential credential exposure that could cascade into account takeover, reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny. Leadership should prioritize identification and containment of affected sites while a fix is developed.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Disable or remove the EventON Subscriber plugin (versions through 1.4.5) on internet-facing WordPress sites; deploy WAF virtual patching to block SQL injection against the 'email' parameter; restrict access to wp-admin and plugin endpoints; monitor web and database logs for anomalous query patterns; and apply temporary virtual patching through a WordPress security provider until a vendor-released patch is available.
