High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-75963

The Events Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.5 via the eme_single_event_page_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. The stored traversal payload is triggered passively when any visitor loads the affected single-event page, meaning post-submission execution does not require additional attacker interaction.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
A remote file chosen by the attacker is included and executed by the PHP engine.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
