Eventer, CVE-2026-9701

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-9701
Home page URL: Security reports for Eventer
Application: Eventer
Published on: Jul 08, 2026
Research Description: The Eventer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an insecure password reset mechanism in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.2. The plugin stores a plaintext copy of the password reset key in the `eventer_verification_code` user meta field when a user requests a password reset. The plaintext key stored in `wp_usermeta` can be used with the plugin's custom reset action to set a new password for any user. Combined with another vulnerability such as SQL Injection (CVE-2026-9700), this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the plaintext reset key and take over any user account, including administrators. Note: The password reset function only works up to PHP version 7.4.
Affected versions: max 4.4.2.
Status: vulnerable
