Description
The Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of attendee data due to a missing authorization check on the GetEventAttendeesCommandHandler::handle() function in versions up to, and including, 9.9.1. The handler only enforces the broad `amelia_read_events` capability — which the plugin's own `wpamelia-customer` role possesses — and does not verify that the authenticated user is an organizer/provider of the event referenced by the client-supplied `id` query parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with wpamelia-customer-level access and above, to export the full CSV of attendee personally identifiable information (first/last name, email, phone, date of birth, gender, private notes, payment amounts/methods, WooCommerce order IDs, custom-field values, and uploaded-file URLs) for any Amelia event on the site by directly invoking the `/report/event/attendees` endpoint with an arbitrary event ID.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an authorization flaw that allows an authenticated user with the wpamelia-customer role or higher to force the GetEventAttendeesCommandHandler to deliver a CSV file containing every attendee’s personally identifiable information for any event on the site. The handler enforces only the broad amelia_read_events capability, without verifying that the user is an organizer or provider of the specified event. As a result, the data is exposed to users who lack ownership of the event, leading to a significant privacy breach and the risk of identity theft and misuse of payment and order information.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have installed the Amelia Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar plugin by melograno, in any version up to and including 9.9.1. The issue is specific to the /report/event/attendees endpoint that serves attendee data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity vulnerability that can lead to major privacy loss. No EPSS data is available, so the exact likelihood of exploitation is unknown, but the vulnerability is exploitable by any authenticated user with wpamelia-customer privileges or higher. The attacker does not need any special privileges beyond authenticated access and a known event ID. The vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Amelia Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar to the latest version (greater than 9.9.1) where the correct authorization check has been added to the event attendee export functionality.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, temporarily restrict the wpamelia-customer role and any higher roles so that only event organizers or providers retain the amelia_read_events capability, preventing unauthorized exports.
  • Consider blocking or rate‑limiting the /report/event/attendees endpoint for authenticated users who are not verified organizers, and monitor logs for repeated export attempts to catch potential abuse.
