Impact
The Events Manager plugin for WordPress contains an information exposure flaw that allows unauthenticated users to retrieve sensitive data from event locations marked as password protected, private, or draft. The flaw arises because the plugin’s 'get_location' action does not enforce proper access controls on which locations can be returned. The weakness is classified as CWE-200, exposing confidential event data to anyone with website access.
Affected Systems
WordPress sites running the Events Manager plugin by netweblogic, including all releases up to and including 7.2.2.2.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating moderate severity. Its EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting low but non-zero probability of exploitation, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw by sending requests to the get_location action without authentication to fetch data from protected locations. Because no additional authentication or privilege checks exist, the exposure is purely informational and does not directly lead to code execution or DoS.
