AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13174 describes an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the Eventin WordPress plugin prior to version 4.1.21. The plugin fails to verify whether a user has the appropriate ownership or capability before allowing deletion of user accounts. As a result, any user with contributor-level access or above can permanently delete other users' accounts, potentially causing significant disruption to the affected WordPress site.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows users with contributor-level privileges or higher to permanently delete other users' accounts. This compromises user account integrity and availability, potentially leading to denial of service for affected users and administrative disruption. The CVSS score of 7.2 (high) reflects the network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the high level, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Eventin version 4.1.21 and later. Users should upgrade to version 4.1.21 or above to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
