Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to enumerate timeslot IDs and read full WP_Post objects, including content and metadata of draft, pending, and private event posts belonging to other users.

This exposure of potentially sensitive or private data could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal or confidential information, which may impact compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA that require protection of personal and sensitive data.

However, the provided information does not explicitly detail the direct impact on compliance frameworks or specific regulatory requirements.

Executive Summary

The Timetable and Event Schedule by MotoPress plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability called Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in all versions up to and including 2.4.16. This happens because the plugin does not properly validate a user-controlled key in the action_get_event_data function.

As a result, authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can enumerate timeslot IDs and access the full WP_Post object of draft, pending, and private mp-event posts that belong to other users. This includes sensitive post data such as post_content, post_excerpt, post_status, post_author, and raw timeslot descriptions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access or above to read private and unpublished event posts of other users. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information contained in those posts.

Since the attacker can access draft, pending, and private content, it may result in privacy breaches or exposure of business-sensitive scheduling information that was not intended to be public.
