Impact
The plugin deserializes user‑supplied data without proper validation, enabling object injection. This PHP Object Injection (CWE-502) allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially compromising the entire WordPress installation.
Affected Systems
Systems running the elbisnero WordPress Events Calendar Registration & Tickets plugin – wpeventplus – version 2.6.0 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability applies to all installations of this plugin within WordPress sites.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.8 marks this flaw as critical, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that mass exploitation is currently uncommon. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is via crafted requests to the plugin’s entry points, such as registration or ticket submission forms, where unsafe deserialization occurs. Organizations should treat this as a high‑risk exposure until mitigated.
