- CVE-2026-15148, 7 Aug 2026
- The WP Events Manager WordPress plugin before 2.2.5 does not verify that an incoming payment notification originates from the site's configured merchant account, nor that the paid amount matches the booking total, allowing unauthenticated users to mark any booking as paid without a legitimate payment reaching the merchant, including other users' bookings. CVE record
- CVE-2026-14205, 7 Aug 2026
- The WP Events Manager WordPress plugin before 2.2.5 does not validate the requested quantity when registering for a paid event and computes the price from the attacker-controlled quantity, allowing any authenticated user to create a completed booking for a paid event without making a payment. CVE record
- CVE-2024-7717, 31 Aug 2024
- The WP Events Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘order’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.11 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

What to do if you run WP Events Manager
If you run WP Events Manager, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
If no fixed version exists, consider disabling and removing the plugin or replacing it with a maintained alternative. After dealing with the affected software, check administrator users, unexpected file changes, redirects, unfamiliar pages and security logs for signs that the site may already have been altered.
