Events Manager
Monthly
Authenticated SQL injection in the WordPress plugin Events Manager, affecting versions through 7.4.6, allows a Subscriber-level user - the lowest registered role on a WordPress site - to inject arbitrary SQL into plugin queries, yielding an assessed CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L) with high confidentiality impact, low availability impact, and no integrity impact. No end-user interaction is required and the flaw is network-reachable, but the PR:L prerequisite means an outside attacker must first obtain a Subscriber account, which in practice depends on the target site permitting open user self-registration; sites that disable registration substantially raise the barrier to exploitation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue was reported through Patchstack - the combination of scope-changed database read impact and a low-privilege foothold makes this a credible, actionable priority rather than an inflated high-CVSS score.
Privilege escalation and account takeover in the Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.4.1 lets unauthenticated attackers reset passwords, promote accounts to Administrator, or delete accounts whose user ID collides with the ID of one of the plugin's own posts. The flaw stems from the plugin overriding WordPress's own capability decisions for unrelated privileged user actions. Publicly available exploit code exists (WPScan), EPSS is a notable 15%, and SSVC rates it automatable with total technical impact, though it is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
SQL injection in the Events Manager WordPress plugin (versions before 7.4.1) allows any subscriber-level or higher authenticated user to manipulate raw SQL queries and tamper with booking consent records belonging to other users. The flaw arises from a user-controlled value being interpolated directly into a database query without sanitization (CWE-89), enabling both unauthorized data disclosure and integrity violations against other users' booking records. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan's disclosure, and an EPSS score of 16% reflects meaningful exploitation likelihood, though active exploitation has not been formally confirmed in CISA's KEV catalog.
Unauthenticated cross-site scripting (XSS) in the Events Manager WordPress plugin versions 7.4.1 and earlier enables remote attackers without credentials to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages rendered for other users. The CVSS 7.1 score is driven by a scope change (S:C), meaning injected scripts execute in victims' browsers outside the plugin's security context - enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of authenticated users including administrators. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated network-accessible attack vector significantly lowers the bar for opportunistic targeting of any WordPress site running this plugin.
Events Manager WordPress plugin before version 7.4 exposes an unauthenticated REST API endpoint that serves temporarily stored file uploads without any authorization check, enabling an attacker who has obtained a victim's high-entropy temporary upload identifier to retrieve that user's in-progress file submission. Classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), the flaw represents a missing permission_callback on a WordPress REST route - effectively an IDOR variant against ephemeral upload objects. A public POC is available via WPScan; no CISA KEV listing exists, and the EPSS score of 0.14% (4th percentile) reflects the practical constraint imposed by identifier acquisition being the dominant bottleneck.
Arbitrary database read in the Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.3.7 lets unauthenticated bookers inject a malicious serialized PHP object through a booking-registration field on sites running No-User-Account Booking Mode. When the stored booking is later loaded, the object is deserialized without a class allow-list, triggering a gadget chain that reaches an unparameterised SQL query and exposes sensitive data such as user password hashes and secret keys. Publicly available exploit code exists (WPScan) and SSVC rates exploitation as PoC and automatable, though it is not listed in CISA KEV.
PHP Object Injection in the WordPress Events Manager plugin (Marcus/@msykes) affects all versions up to and including 7.3.6, letting remote attackers deserialize untrusted data and instantiate arbitrary PHP objects. When paired with a suitable POP gadget chain present in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed plugin, this can escalate to remote code execution, data theft, or site takeover. Reported by Patchstack with a CVSS of 8.8; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV, though the network vector combined with only requiring user interaction makes it a serious patch priority.
Race condition in the Pixelite Events Manager WordPress plugin (versions through 7.4.7) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker target a narrow synchronization window in the plugin's handling of a shared resource, resulting in a limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability effect. Exploitation hinges on winning a concurrency race - tightly-timed overlapping requests must land inside the vulnerable window (CVSS AC:H), a probabilistic timing requirement that substantially reduces reliability and keeps overall severity low. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and there is no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing).
Information disclosure in the Pixelite Events Manager WordPress plugin through version 7.4.5 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve embedded sensitive data from outbound responses. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects a confidentiality-only impact rated Low. This is a moderate, low-priority vulnerability rather than a critical threat.
Authenticated, low-privileged WordPress users can read other accounts' non-public event and venue content - including unpublished, pending and trashed events and full street addresses - on sites running the Events Manager plugin before 7.4.5, because the logged-in event and location search does not force the search scope to the caller when a custom 'owner' value is supplied. Any account on the target site (subscriber-level or similar) is sufficient and no user interaction or administrative rights are required, making this a read-only information disclosure rated CVSS 4.3 (MEDIUM) and described by CISA's SSVC assessment as non-automatable with partial technical impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no confirmed active exploitation (the issue is not listed in CISA KEV), and the vendor has addressed it in version 7.4.5.
Improper authorization in the Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.4.5 allows an authenticated user who can manage tickets for at least one event to overwrite and reassign any ticket on the site - including tickets belonging to events they do not control - because the ticket-update handler authorizes the request against one ticket but then applies the change to client-supplied identifiers without re-verifying ownership. Publicly available exploit code exists, but exploitation is gated by the privileged event-management role required (CVSS 3.1 PR:H) and impact is confined to the integrity of ticket records, with no data disclosure or availability loss. Scoring CVSS 3.1 2.7 and assessed by CISA SSVC as non-automatable with partial technical impact, this is a genuinely low-priority vulnerability despite being real and patched.
The Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘calendar_header’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
