Critical CVSS 9.8
CVE-2026-14205
NVD analysis in progress
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.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- The authentication mechanism can be bypassed, letting an attacker pose as a legitimate user.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
