AI Analysis

Impact

The Eventin WordPress plugin, in versions earlier than 4.1.21, accepts a webhook URL supplied by a user and does not validate the value or verify that the user is the owner of the event. This flaw allows anyone with contributor level or higher within the WordPress site to trigger blind server‑side requests to arbitrary hosts via the webhook mechanism, potentially causing unintended network traffic or exposing internal resources to external observers.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects the Eventin WordPress plugin before version 4.1.21. No additional version details or vendor markings are supplied; the plugin is identified only as Eventin for WordPress.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.7 places this issue in the low severity range, and the EPSS score is not available. Because this flaw requires the attacker to have contributor‑level access on the site, it is unlikely that public attackers can exploit it without first compromising the account. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no widespread exploitation is known. Nonetheless, an attacker with legitimate contributor privilege could generate arbitrary outbound HTTP/S requests, which may lead to information disclosure or denial of service against target hosts.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Eventin plugin to version 4.1.21 or later to eliminate the SSRF flaw.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, remove or disable webhook functionality for all events or restrict contributor users from managing webhooks until a patch is available.
  • Validate or restrict the format of webhook URLs in event configuration to prevent arbitrary host requests.
  • Monitor outbound network traffic from the WordPress installation for unexpected or suspicious requests.
