Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The Eventin WordPress plugin before version 4.1.20 has a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability. It fails to properly validate the speaker_template setting, allowing users with editor-level access or higher to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files by manipulating the template path.

Detection Guidance

Check if the Eventin WordPress plugin version is below 4.1.20. Look for unauthorized file inclusions in web server logs or suspicious PHP file executions by users with editor-level access or higher.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with editor-level access or higher could execute malicious PHP code on your server, potentially leading to full system compromise, data theft, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal or sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA compliance requirements. It may result in data breaches, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Eventin WordPress plugin to version 4.1.20 or later immediately. Restrict editor-level access to only trusted users and monitor for unusual file inclusion activities.
