CVE-2025-8091: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in ashanjay EventON – Events Calendar
The EventON Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions less than, or equal to, 2.4.6 via the add_single_eventon and add_eventon shortcodes due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract data from password protected, private, or draft posts that they should not have access to.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The EventON Lite plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.4.6 contains an information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200) in the add_single_eventon and add_eventon shortcodes. These shortcodes do not properly restrict access to posts, enabling unauthenticated attackers to retrieve content from posts that are password protected, private, or drafts. This exposure can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in these posts. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no privileges required but some privileges are indicated in the vector (PR:L).
Potential Impact
An attacker without authentication can extract sensitive data from protected or private posts that should normally be inaccessible. This leads to confidentiality loss of information stored in these posts. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or restricting use of the affected shortcodes (add_single_eventon and add_eventon) or limit plugin usage to trusted users only. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
