Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.4 does not perform any authorization check on a REST route that serves temporarily stored file uploads, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve another user's in-progress upload when its temporary identifier is known. The identifier is high-entropy, is disclosed only to the uploader, and the file is removed on submission or by a scheduled cleanup, so a cross-user read is not achievable by guessing alone.
AnalysisAI
Events Manager WordPress plugin before version 7.4 exposes an unauthenticated REST API endpoint that serves temporarily stored file uploads without any authorization check, enabling an attacker who has obtained a victim's high-entropy temporary upload identifier to retrieve that user's in-progress file submission. Classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), the flaw represents a missing permission_callback on a WordPress REST route - effectively an IDOR variant against ephemeral upload objects. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The Events Manager WordPress plugin must be installed, active, and running a version prior to 7.4, with the file upload feature in use (i.e., at least one event registration form configured to accept file attachments). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N yields 7.5 (High), but several signals materially challenge that as an accurate operational risk indicator. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker operating on the same network segment as a victim - or with access to server-side request logs on an HTTP-only WordPress site - intercepts or recovers the high-entropy temporary identifier assigned when the victim begins uploading a document during event registration. The attacker then issues an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the Events Manager REST endpoint referencing that identifier and receives the victim's in-progress file (which may contain sensitive personal, financial, or identity documents depending on the event's registration requirements) in the response body. … |
| Remediation | Update the Events Manager WordPress plugin to version 7.4 or later, which introduces the missing authorization check on the temporary file upload REST route; apply this update through the WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins or via WP-CLI (wp plugin update events-manager). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
