CVE-2026-15023: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in netweblogic Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!
The Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! WordPress plugin is vulnerable to a stored SQL Injection via the 'meta_key' parameter in the event/location duplicate action. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this by first inserting SQL metacharacters into a custom meta key, which is then unsafely concatenated into an SQL query during duplication actions. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 7.4.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15023 is a stored SQL Injection vulnerability in the Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! WordPress plugin by netweblogic. The flaw arises from insufficient escaping of user-supplied 'meta_key' parameters and unsafe concatenation in SQL queries triggered by event_duplicate or location_duplicate actions. Attackers with contributor-level privileges can plant SQL metacharacters in custom meta keys via the standard add-meta flow, which are stored verbatim in the database. When duplication actions read these meta keys, the injected SQL can be executed, allowing extraction of sensitive database information. This is a second-order SQL injection vulnerability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting additional SQL queries. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity or availability impact), but it compromises confidentiality. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and required privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently confirmed. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Avoid triggering event_duplicate or location_duplicate actions with untrusted meta keys. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
