The Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via Stored 'meta_key' via Event/Location Duplicate Action in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is a second-order SQL injection: an attacker first plants SQL metacharacters in a custom meta key via the standard add-meta flow (WordPress stores these verbatim in wp_postmeta), then triggers the injection by invoking the event_duplicate or location_duplicate action, which reads the stored meta keys via get_post_meta() and concatenates them unsafely into the INSERT query.
AnalysisAI
Second-order SQL injection in the Events Manager WordPress plugin (all versions through 7.4.0) allows authenticated contributors to extract sensitive data from the WordPress database by exploiting unsafe meta key concatenation in the event and location duplication flow. An attacker with contributor-level access plants SQL metacharacters in a custom event or location meta key via the standard WordPress add-meta interface; WordPress stores these verbatim in wp_postmeta, and when the duplicate action is subsequently invoked, the plugin reads the stored key via get_post_meta() and concatenates it unsafely into an INSERT SQL query. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid WordPress user account with at minimum contributor-level role permissions, which is needed to add custom meta keys to events or locations via the WordPress post meta interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Events Manager plugin to version 7.4.1 or later, which resolves the unsafe SQL concatenation in the event and location duplication code paths as confirmed by the Trac changeset (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=/events-manager/tags/7.4.0.1&new_path=/events-manager/tags/7.4.1). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
