WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The Event Manager, Events Calendar, Tickets, Registrations – Eventin plugin for WordPress (CVE-2024-6033) contains a vulnerability related to unauthorized data importation. The issue affects all versions up to and including 4.0.4, and was discovered in July 2024. The vulnerability stems from a missing capability check on the 'import_file' function (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) and has received a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 4.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The security flaw exists in the plugin's import functionality where proper authorization checks are missing from the 'import_file' function (NVD).

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to import events, speakers, schedules, and attendee data without proper authorization. This could potentially lead to unauthorized data manipulation within the WordPress installation (NVD).

The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with at least Contributor-level access to exploit. The attack complexity is considered low, requiring no user interaction for exploitation (NVD).

Users should upgrade to version 4.0.5 or later of the Eventin plugin to address this vulnerability. A patch has been released that implements proper capability checks for the import functionality (Wordpress).
