Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-84745 describes an information exposure vulnerability in The Events Calendar WordPress plugin prior to version 6.17.3.1. The plugin fails to restrict access to non-public content on its public REST API endpoints, enabling users with low-privilege roles (e.g., contributors) to access unpublished records belonging to other users. This exposure does not affect integrity or availability but leaks potentially sensitive unpublished content.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized disclosure of unpublished event data to users with low privileges. This could lead to privacy concerns or information leakage but does not allow modification or disruption of service. The CVSS score of 2.7 reflects a low severity impact limited to confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level is currently confirmed. Users should upgrade to version 6.17.3.1 or later once available, as the vulnerability is described as affecting versions before 6.17.3.1. Until then, restrict user roles carefully and monitor access to unpublished content. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
