AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13178 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Eventin WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.1.16. The flaw arises because the plugin does not properly authorize order creation and accepts an attacker-controlled order status parameter. This allows unauthenticated attackers to create orders marked as paid without any actual payment processing. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key).
Potential Impact
An attacker can create fraudulent orders marked as paid without completing payment, potentially leading to financial loss or abuse of the order system. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or availability but has a high impact on integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the plugin's order creation endpoints and monitor for suspicious order creation activity.
