MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only that a target site run Quick Event Manager in the 8.4.6-9.18 range with the calendar export functionality reachable, which is the default behavior - no authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is needed (consistent with PR:N/UI:N). What limits real-world impact is the nature of what is exposed: the flaw returns only the content of draft and private posts (CWE-200, C:L), not credentials, database contents, or write access, and it has no integrity or availability effect. Practical value to an attacker therefore depends on the target actually having sensitive unpublished event posts. |
| Impact | Signals are consistent and point to a genuine-but-modest issue rather than an emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 5.3 Medium) describes remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity access with only low confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect - matching the description of unauthenticated disclosure of draft/private post content via the calendar export. EPSS is low at 0.16% (5th percentile), and SSVC records Exploitation: none, so there is no indication of active exploitation; it is NOT in CISA KEV. The one tension worth noting is that SSVC marks Automatable: yes (the export endpoint can be scripted at scale) while EPSS remains low - this reflects that the flaw is easy to automate but there is currently no observed real-world exploitation, i.e. opportunity without evidence of use. The vendor priority label is this_month, consistent with a low-severity information-disclosure bug that should be patched on a normal cadence rather than treated as an incident. Net: a real, confirmed information-disclosure vulnerability of limited impact, not a high-urgency threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker requests the plugin's calendar export function on a site running Quick Event Manager between 8.4.6 and 9.18; because the export does not check post status or type, the response returns details of posts that are still in draft or marked private. This leaks unpublished or restricted content (e.g. upcoming announcements or internal event details) to anyone, with no login required. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, though the export endpoint is straightforward to script. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 01, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the WordPress plugin Quick Event Manager affects versions 8.4.6 through 9.18, where a calendar export endpoint returns details of requested posts without verifying their status or type, exposing the content of draft and private posts. Exploitation needs only a site running an affected version with the calendar export reachable, which is default behavior; no authentication or user interaction is required. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.16% (5th percentile), with CISA SSVC recording no exploitation activity, so practical risk depends on whether a target holds sensitive unpublished event content.
RemediationAI
Update Quick Event Manager to version 9.19 or later, which the vendor has released to correct the missing post status and type validation; the advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/b3ccecb9-4544-4944-a31a-f5aed7dcc95e/ should be consulted for the vendor notice. No vendor-documented workaround is provided in the available data, so sites that cannot update immediately should consider whether the calendar export functionality can be withdrawn or restricted at the web server or plugin level, accepting that doing so removes a legitimate feature, and should avoid leaving sensitive unpublished event content in draft or private posts on affected installations. Given the low EPSS score and absence of observed exploitation, scheduling the update within the current monthly patching cycle is reasonable, but exposure of unpublished event content should be reviewed for confidentiality impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Quick Event Manager is a WordPress plugin that manages events and publishes them through calendar and export features; the vulnerable code path services a calendar export request and looks up the referenced post but fails to check the post's status or type before returning its details, a CWE-200 exposure-of-sensitive-information flaw. The practical consequence is that posts WordPress normally restricts to logged-in users or privileged roles, namely drafts and private posts, can be retrieved through that endpoint by anyone who can reach it. The issue is confined to the read path: it yields post content only (CVSS C:L) with no integrity or availability impact, and the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the attack is network-reachable, low complexity, and requires neither credentials nor user interaction. The trigger mechanics beyond the missing status/type check are not described in the available sources.
