If you cannot patch yet, restrict user permissions to trusted users only and monitor event registrations for suspicious activity. Avoid using affected versions of the plugin in production environments if possible.

Description

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-14205) exists in the WP Events Manager WordPress plugin versions before 2.2.5. The flaw allows any authenticated user to manipulate the quantity parameter when registering for a paid event, causing the plugin to compute the price based on attacker-controlled input. This enables the creation of completed bookings for paid events without actual payment.
