Eventin WordPress Plugin Local File Inclusion
2026-09-09
Local File Inclusion in the Eventin Event Calendar WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.1.22) allows authenticated attackers with custom-level WordPress access to include and execute arbitrary PHP files by supplying a crafted path via the unsanitized `event_layout` parameter in the plugin's event template and REST API endpoints. Successful code execution requires the attacker to first place a PHP file on the server - a two-stage exploit chain reflected in the CVSS AC:H rating. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; Wordfence reported this with direct source code line references, indicating the attack surface is well-documented.
Local File Inclusion in the Eventin WordPress event management plugin (versions ≤4.1.22) allows authenticated contributors to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server via the unsanitized 'event_layout' parameter, achieving full remote code execution. The etn_manage_event capability is assigned to WordPress Contributors by default, meaning any registered Contributor can set the malicious parameter value through the REST API without any site-specific configuration change. Exploitation requires a PHP file to already be present on the server, reflected in the AC:H CVSS rating; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
