| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication is required (CVSS PR:N) and no special server-side configuration is needed beyond a publicly accessible WordPress installation running WpEvently ≤ 5.6.0 in its default state. Exploitation is structurally limited to integrity and availability impact only - the CVSS C:N metric confirms no confidentiality exposure through this vulnerability alone, so attackers cannot read sensitive data via this vector. The specific endpoint names and parameter keys involved are not detailed in the available advisory data; the precise attack surface requires review of the Patchstack technical writeup or the plugin source to enumerate affected routes. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L) reflects genuinely trivial reachability and zero authentication requirements, but the impact ceiling is bounded: there is no confidentiality exposure (C:N), and both integrity and availability impacts are rated Low, meaning an attacker cannot exfiltrate sensitive data or fully disable the service through this vector alone. No exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV, no public proof-of-concept code is known, and EPSS data was not provided in the available intelligence. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in radom managing a WordPress-based events portal should treat this as a prompt but non-emergency patch - the low impact metrics and lack of active-exploitation signals place this below critical triage thresholds. SSVC analysis suggests: exploitation status - none identified; automatable - yes (no auth, low complexity, network vector); technical impact - partial (integrity and availability only). Overall, this is a moderate-priority remediation item for any public-facing deployment running the affected plugin version. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to WpEvently's object-handling endpoints, substituting an arbitrary or victim-owned object identifier in the request parameters. Without authorization checks, the plugin processes the manipulation and allows the attacker to modify or delete event-related records - such as registrations, bookings, or event entries - owned by other users or administrators. No proof-of-concept code has been publicly identified, but the attack requires only standard HTTP tooling and knowledge of valid object ID formats. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 08, 2026
Unauthenticated IDOR in the WpEvently WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 5.6.0) allows remote attackers with no credentials to supply user-controlled object identifiers that the plugin resolves without authorization checks, yielding partial integrity and availability impact over event-related data. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires only standard network access to a public-facing WordPress installation running the affected plugin. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Update WpEvently to the first release beyond 5.6.0 once MagePeople Inc. publishes a patched version; no exact fix version is confirmed in the currently available data, so monitor the WordPress plugin repository and the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/mage-eventpress/vulnerability/wordpress-wpevently-plugin-5-6-0-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability) for the official release. As a compensating control prior to patching, deploy a web application firewall rule to restrict unauthenticated POST or GET requests to the plugin's IDOR-affected endpoints - note that overly broad rules may disrupt legitimate anonymous visitor interactions with the event system, so scope WAF rules to the specific object-reference parameters identified in the Patchstack technical detail. If the plugin is not actively used for public-facing event registration, temporarily restricting front-end access to authenticated users only eliminates the unauthenticated attack surface with minimal operational impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-639 (Authorization Through User-Controlled Key) describes the pattern where an application exposes internal object identifiers - such as database record IDs or resource handles - directly in requests without verifying that the requester is authorized to act on the referenced object. WpEvently is a WordPress event management plugin by MagePeople Inc. (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:magepeople_inc.:wpevently:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). In versions ≤ 5.6.0, object references controlling event-related resources can be supplied via unauthenticated HTTP requests and are processed without an ownership or role-scoping check. This is a classic IDOR pattern and is distinct from authentication bypass: the authentication layer is not circumvented - the flaw is the absence of authorization enforcement after authentication state is evaluated.
