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 | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid WordPress account with at least customer-level privileges (PR:L per CVSS vector). Sites with open user registration are at elevated risk because an attacker can self-register to obtain the required account without any prior relationship with the target. The WP Event Solution plugin must be installed and active on a version <= 4.1.19. There is no requirement for user interaction or special server configuration beyond the plugin being active. Exploitation is limited to authenticated sessions - completely unauthenticated access is not sufficient. Sites that disable user registration entirely, restrict the customer role, or require manual account approval significantly reduce their exposure. |
| Impact | The CVSS 7.1 (High) vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H characterizes this as a straightforward, low-complexity network attack requiring only a valid customer-level account. The high availability impact (A:H) reflects that arbitrary deletion of event or site content can significantly degrade site functionality. No EPSS score is provided in available data, and the CVE is absent from CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. WordPress plugin vulnerabilities affecting the customer or subscriber role are historically targeted because open-registration sites expose this attack surface to anonymous internet users who simply self-register. The missing-authorization class (CWE-862) is consistently among the most commonly exploited WordPress vulnerability types, making this a realistic near-term exploitation candidate despite the current absence of known public exploits. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker visits a WordPress site running WP Event Solution <= 4.1.19 with open user registration enabled, self-registers a customer-level account, and then submits crafted HTTP requests to the plugin's content deletion endpoint - bypassing the absent or ineffective authorization check - to delete event listings, posts, or other content managed by the plugin at scale. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and minimal privilege bar make manual exploitation straightforward once the vulnerable endpoint is enumerated. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026
WP Event Solution WordPress plugin versions up to and including 4.1.19 allows authenticated users with customer-level privileges to delete arbitrary content due to missing authorization controls (CWE-862). The vulnerability is network-exploitable with low privilege requirements and no user interaction, yielding high availability impact through unrestricted content deletion. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Update WP Event Solution to the version that addresses this vulnerability - the exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from available input data and must be verified via the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-event-solution/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-event-solution-plugin-4-1-19-arbitrary-content-deletion-vulnerability. Until a patch is applied, disable public user registration on the affected WordPress site to prevent untrusted parties from obtaining customer-level accounts (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register'); note this will block legitimate self-registration workflows if your site relies on them. Alternatively, implement a WAF rule to block unauthenticated or low-privileged requests to the plugin's deletion endpoints. If WooCommerce customer accounts are necessary, consider auditing which users hold the customer role and removing accounts not tied to verified orders.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WP Event Solution is a WordPress event management plugin developed by Arraytics (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:arraytics:wp_event_solution:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) is the root cause: the plugin executes a content deletion operation without verifying that the requesting user holds sufficient capabilities to perform it. In WordPress's role-based access control model, the 'customer' role (commonly introduced by WooCommerce) carries minimal permissions. The plugin fails to enforce a capability check - such as current_user_can() against an appropriate permission - on its deletion endpoint, meaning any low-privilege authenticated user can invoke it against content outside their ownership scope. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag from Patchstack further suggests that whatever authorization gate exists is either absent or trivially circumventable.

DescriptionCVE.org
Customer Arbitrary Content Deletion in WP Event SOlution <= 4.1.19 versions.
Executive ViewAI
WP Event Solution plugin (versions up to 4.1.19) contains an authorization bypass allowing authenticated users to delete arbitrary website content, threatening data availability and business continuity for WordPress sites using this plugin. Without an available patch, immediate mitigation is required to prevent unauthorized content destruction.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable or uninstall the WP Event Solution plugin entirely; restrict customer-level user role capabilities to read-only access; implement detailed audit logging of all user actions; audit and remove unnecessary customer-level user accounts; establish monitoring alerts for content deletion events.
