Executive Summary

This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-57994, is an Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) issue in the WordPress Upcoming Events Lists Plugin version 1.4.0 and earlier. It allows unauthorized users with subscriber-level privileges to bypass authorization controls and potentially access sensitive files, folders, or database interactions that they should not have access to. It is classified under OWASP Top 10 A1: Broken Access Control. [1]

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that unauthorized users can bypass access controls and gain access to sensitive information or perform actions that should be restricted. This could lead to information disclosure or limited integrity and availability issues. However, the severity is considered low with a CVSS score of 5.4, and it is unlikely to be widely exploited. There is currently no official patch, but virtual patching is available as a mitigation. [1]

Detection Guidance

There are no specific detection commands or network indicators provided for this vulnerability. Monitoring for unauthorized access attempts by subscriber-level users to restricted resources may help, but no explicit detection commands are available. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Since no official patch is available, it is recommended to apply virtual patching (vPatching) offered by Patchstack to automatically protect against this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor for updates from the plugin developer and consider restricting subscriber-level access where possible. [1]
