Impact

The vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw in the WP Event Manager plugin that allows an attacker to perform actions normally restricted to privileged users. Because the plugin does not enforce proper access control, anyone with website access can create, edit, or delete events, compromising data integrity and potentially disrupting site operations. The weakness maps to CWE-862 (Broken Access Control).

Affected Systems

The flaw exists in the Ashok Dudhat WP Event Manager plugin for WordPress. It affects all releases from the earliest version continuing through 3.4.1; any site running 3.4.1 or an older release is impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.4, indicating moderate severity. Exploit probability is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability via the web interface, and the path requires only simple interaction, with no additional configuration needed. Effective mitigation requires a prompt upgrade or configuration lockout.
