Exploitation Conditions

The affected software is the WpEvently (mage-eventpress) WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 5.7.8. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AV:N/AC:L) indicates an unauthenticated attacker can reach the vulnerable functionality remotely over HTTP with no user interaction against a site running the plugin. However, the available sources do NOT name the exact endpoint, action, parameter, or configuration required to trigger the missing-authorization check, so the precise prerequisite (specific feature or plugin mode) is not described in the available sources. The primary limiting factor is deployment scope: exploitation requires the target WordPress site to have the WpEvently plugin installed and active at version 5.7.8 or earlier; impact is bounded to low confidentiality and low integrity (no availability impact) per the CVSS vector.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the WpEvently / mage-eventpress WordPress plugin. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue requiring no privileges and no user interaction, with low confidentiality and low integrity impact and no availability impact - consistent with a broken-access-control bug that exposes or lets an unauthenticated actor manipulate some plugin data it should not. The decision signals are modest and non-urgent: the vuln.today priority is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, no EPSS exploitation-probability score is supplied, and no proof-of-concept or exploit reference is provided - only the Patchstack database entry that catalogs the issue. Exploitation status is therefore: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. There is no conflict between signals, but there is a notable DATA GAP: the description is generic ('allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels') and names no specific endpoint, parameter, or function, so the precise mechanism and exact data exposed cannot be verified from the available sources. Overall this is a real but moderate-priority issue - appropriate for scheduled patching rather than emergency response - driven by the unauthenticated network vector rather than by any evidence of active exploitation or wide weaponization.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted request to a WpEvently plugin endpoint that fails to enforce an authorization check, allowing them to read or alter event-related data they should not have access to. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials, special timing, or victim interaction are required. No public exploit code or PoC is identified in the provided sources, so exploitation would require an attacker to independently identify the unprotected function.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 24, 2026

Missing authorization in the WpEvently (mage-eventpress) WordPress plugin through 5.7.8 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) flaw that lets unauthenticated remote attackers reach functionality lacking proper access control checks, with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. The issue is CWE-862 and is tagged as an authentication bypass; no CISA KEV confirmation was supplied and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The Patchstack advisory is the available reference, and the exact vulnerable endpoint or action is not named in the supplied sources.

RemediationAI

No exact fixed version is identified in the supplied data; check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/mage-eventpress/vulnerability/wordpress-wpevently-plugin-5-7-8-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve to confirm the vendor's fixed release and upgrade past 5.7.8 if the vendor confirms that release contains the fix. If the plugin is not required, deactivating and removing WpEvently eliminates the exposure at the cost of losing event-management functionality. If it must remain active, restrict access to the plugin's front-end and AJAX/REST endpoints at a reverse proxy or WAF to trusted networks or authenticated users, accepting that legitimate public event pages and unauthenticated flows may break; because the vulnerable endpoint or action is not named in the available sources, that restriction cannot be confidently scoped to only the affected route.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WpEvently is a WordPress event-management plugin distributed under the slug mage-eventpress. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) means an action or resource is exposed without an adequate capability or permission check. The assessed CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N confirms network reachability, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and low confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact. No CPE strings were supplied, so product identification relies on the advisory's name and version range; the precise endpoint, AJAX action, REST route, parameter, or plugin configuration that triggers the missing check is not described in the available sources.
