Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-15023 is a second-order SQL injection vulnerability in the Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! WordPress plugin. The flaw arises because user-supplied 'meta_key' values are stored verbatim in the wp_postmeta table and later concatenated unsafely into an SQL INSERT query during event_duplicate or location_duplicate actions.

The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 7.4.0.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting malicious SQL code.
