Local File Inclusion in Events Made Easy WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-20

Last updated on: 2026-08-20

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Events Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.5 via the eme_single_event_page_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. The stored traversal payload is triggered passively when any visitor loads the affected single-event page, meaning post-submission execution does not require additional attacker interaction.

Executive Summary

The Events Made Easy WordPress plugin up to version 3.2.5 has a Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the eme_single_event_page_template function. Authenticated attackers with contributor access or higher can include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server. This allows them to run malicious PHP code, bypass access controls, steal sensitive data, or gain full control of the site.

Detection Guidance

Check for the Events Made Easy plugin version 3.2.5 or lower. Inspect WordPress sites for unauthorized .php file inclusions in event templates. Review server logs for suspicious file access patterns or unexpected PHP execution.

Impact Analysis

If you use the vulnerable plugin, attackers could upload malicious PHP files and execute them by visiting a single-event page. This could lead to complete site compromise, data theft, or unauthorized access. Even if you don't upload files, attackers with contributor access could exploit this to take over your WordPress site.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection. If exploited, it may result in data breaches, non-compliance penalties, and loss of trust due to compromised personal or health information.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Events Made Easy plugin to the latest version. Remove or restrict contributor-level access to untrusted users. Monitor for unauthorized file uploads or inclusions. Consider disabling the plugin temporarily if an update is unavailable.
