MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The WP Chill RSVP and Event Management plugin version 2.7.16 or earlier must be installed and active on a WordPress site. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication and no user interaction are required - exploitation targets any publicly reachable WordPress installation running the plugin. Exploitation is bounded by the partial integrity-only impact (I:L, C:N, A:N): attackers can write or modify data within the plugin's scope but cannot read sensitive data or disrupt service availability. No specific non-default configuration is required to be vulnerable; the flaw exists in the plugin's standard access control implementation. Limiting factors include the narrow impact scope and the requirement that the specific plugin be installed and active. |
| Impact | CVSS 5.3 Medium reflects easy, unauthenticated network access but a narrow blast radius - only partial integrity impact, with confidentiality and availability unaffected (C:N/A:N). EPSS at 0.03% (8th percentile) is notably low, indicating the security community sees very little real-world exploitation probability. SSVC corroborates: exploitation status is 'none' currently, though the automatable flag is significant - once a script exists, bulk scanning of WordPress sites for this plugin is trivial. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. No POC has been identified. The overall real-world risk is low-to-moderate: the attack surface is wide (any public WordPress site running the plugin), but the achievable impact is narrow, and there is no current evidence of active or targeted exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker scans for WordPress sites with the RSVP and Event Management plugin installed and sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the plugin's AJAX or REST endpoint, invoking a privileged action without any session cookie or nonce tied to an authorized user. The missing authorization check allows the request to proceed, enabling the attacker to tamper with event records or RSVP entries - for example, bulk-accepting or canceling RSVPs for an event. No public POC is currently known, but the low attack complexity and automatable SSVC rating mean this is scriptable at scale. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026
Missing authorization in the WP Chill RSVP and Event Management WordPress plugin (versions through 2.7.16) enables unauthenticated remote attackers to perform unauthorized write operations by bypassing access control checks. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms fully remote, zero-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation is possible against default plugin installations. Impact is limited to partial integrity degradation (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability loss; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.03% (8th percentile).
RemediationAI
Update the RSVP and Event Management plugin to a version beyond 2.7.16 as soon as a patched release is available from WP Chill; the exact fixed version is not independently confirmed from the provided data - administrators should monitor the WordPress plugin repository and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/rsvp/vulnerability/wordpress-rsvp-and-event-management-plugin-2-7-16-broken-access-control-vulnerability for a confirmed fix version. If immediate update is not possible, consider temporarily deactivating the plugin to eliminate the attack surface entirely, accepting the trade-off of lost RSVP functionality. Alternatively, deploy a WAF rule to block unauthenticated POST requests to plugin-specific AJAX endpoints (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with plugin action parameters), noting this may block legitimate guest RSVP submissions. Patch availability per vendor advisory has not been independently confirmed from the supplied data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected software is a WordPress plugin - WP Chill RSVP and Event Management - that handles event creation and guest RSVP workflows. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a pattern common in WordPress plugins where AJAX handlers or REST API endpoints execute sensitive operations without verifying the caller's WordPress capability level (e.g., checking current_user_can()). The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:wp_chill:rsvp_and_event_management:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions up to and including 2.7.16. The Patchstack advisory classifies this as a Broken Access Control vulnerability, consistent with incorrectly configured security levels in plugin-defined action handlers.
