Wired Impact Volunteer Management < 2.8.2 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary RSVP Removal via wivm_remove_rsvp

Published Aug 4, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Wired Impact Volunteer Management WordPress plugin before 2.8.2 does not have authorisation checks in one of its AJAX actions, and does not verify that the RSVP being removed belongs to the requesting user, allowing users with a role as low as Subscriber to remove arbitrary users' RSVPs from any volunteer opportunity.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The Wired Impact Volunteer Management plugin lacks proper authorization checks for its AJAX action that removes RSVPs, representing a CWE‑862 Missing Authorization weakness. An attacker who has authenticated with a role as low as Subscriber can delete any RSVP attached to any volunteer opportunity, causing loss of data and potential disruption to volunteer coordination. The primary impact is integrity breach of RSVP data, which could also affect availability of volunteer records.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that run Wired Impact Volunteer Management before version 2.8.2 are affected. The vulnerability exists regardless of WordPress core version but applies solely to the plugin files that implement the wivm_remove_rsvp action.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is <1% and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating that there is no known exploitation activity at the time of this analysis. The attack requires the victim to be authenticated; therefore the risk is moderate, but the lack of public exploits suggests a low probability of widespread attacks. The CVSS score is 4.3, so risk assessment must consider a low to moderate severity while noting that any authenticated user can delete arbitrary RSVP data.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Wired Impact Volunteer Management to version 2.8.2 or later to apply the authorization fix.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, restrict the Subscriber role so that it cannot access the AJAX endpoint or disable the wivm_remove_rsvp action entirely through code or a security plugin.
  • Monitor access logs for DELETE or AJAX requests to the wivm_remove_rsvp endpoint and investigate any unauthorized activity.
