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 | Either the MDJM Event Management plugin (version below 1.7.8.5) or the Mobile Events Manager plugin (version 1.4.8.3 or earlier) must be installed and activated on the target WordPress site. No authentication is required - the CVSS vector confirms PR:N, meaning any unauthenticated HTTP client that can reach the WordPress site can trigger the deletion. No special configuration or feature flag is needed beyond plugin activation in its default state. The primary limiting factor is that the attacker must supply a valid post ID, which WordPress assigns sequentially and can often be inferred or enumerated via public site content. The attack is bounded to content deletion only: no credential exposure, no code execution, and no privilege escalation are possible through this vector. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) accurately captures the zero-barrier network exploitability - no authentication, no user interaction, and no complexity required. The I:H rating reflects that arbitrary content can be permanently destroyed, though A:N may be slightly understated since mass deletion of pages or media assets can functionally disrupt site availability. With a publicly available proof-of-concept from WPScan, exploitation is accessible to low-skilled attackers. EPSS data is not present in the provided input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified, but the absence of a CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed widespread active exploitation at time of analysis. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in legnica running a WordPress-based events portal would need to treat this as urgent patching if either plugin is installed, given the trivial exploit path and irreversible impact of permanent content deletion. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running a vulnerable version of MDJM Event Management or Mobile Events Manager - detectable via plugin file paths or response headers - then sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the plugin's playlist removal AJAX action with an arbitrary post ID. Because the handler skips all authorization, nonce, and type checks, WordPress permanently deletes the targeted content without placing it in the trash. A publicly available proof-of-concept lowers the skill threshold to near zero, and sequential post ID enumeration allows bulk destruction of site content. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 13, 2026
Unauthenticated permanent deletion of arbitrary WordPress content is possible in sites running the MDJM Event Management plugin (before 1.7.8.5) or Mobile Events Manager plugin (through 1.4.8.3). Both plugins expose a playlist entry removal endpoint that performs no capability check, nonce validation, or post-type verification before permanently deleting the post identified in the request, bypassing the WordPress trash mechanism. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit reported by WPScan makes this trivially exploitable against any affected installation, with irreversible content destruction as the outcome.
RemediationAI
For MDJM Event Management, upgrade to version 1.7.8.5 or later, which introduces the missing capability check, nonce validation, and post-type verification in the playlist deletion handler. For Mobile Events Manager, the input data states a vendor patch is available but does not specify a fixed version number - the upper bound '1.4.8.3' may represent the last known vulnerable release rather than the latest available version; site operators should consult the plugin's WordPress.org repository page or the vendor directly to confirm the patched release. As an immediate compensating control for sites unable to patch, deactivating the affected plugin eliminates the attack surface entirely, though this disables all associated event management functionality. Blocking unauthenticated POST requests to the relevant WordPress AJAX action via a WAF rule is a partial mitigation but carries a risk of incomplete coverage if the endpoint is accessible via multiple routes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Both affected products are WordPress plugins for event and entertainment management. MDJM Event Management (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:mdjm_event_management) and Mobile Events Manager (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:mobile_events_manager) implement a playlist entry deletion handler that invokes WordPress post deletion without first verifying the WordPress nonce (CSRF token), the requesting user's capability (such as edit_posts or delete_posts), or whether the targeted record is actually a playlist entry post type. This constitutes a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) - the CWE field is listed as N/A in the input data, which is an omission. The endpoint accepts arbitrary post IDs and triggers wp_delete_post() with force-delete semantics, permanently removing any post, page, or media attachment on the site without recovery.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The MDJM Event Management WordPress plugin before 1.7.8.5 and the Mobile Events Manager WordPress plugin through 1.4.8.3 do not check a capability, a nonce or the type of the record before permanently deleting the post identified in a request to their playlist entry removal, allowing unauthenticated attackers to destroy arbitrary posts, pages and media attachments, bypassing the trash.

Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
WordPress sites running MDJM Event Management plugin (before version 1.7.8.5) or Mobile Events Manager plugin (through 1.4.8.3) face unprotected content deletion by any unauthenticated user, resulting in permanent irreversible loss of arbitrary posts and pages. Public exploits are circulating and trivial to execute, creating an immediate threat to data integrity and business continuity for any affected installation. Patching is available and should be treated as critical.
Apply vendor patch.
