CVE-2026-84905 Details
Description
The Eventin WordPress plugin before 4.1.24 does not verify a user's capability to create accounts when adding a speaker, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to create new WordPress user accounts that carry capabilities beyond their own, including publishing content and uploading files, and, by supplying an email address they control, to obtain a working login to the created account.
A vulnerability exists in the Eventin WordPress plugin in versions prior to 4.1.24. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify a user's capability to create accounts when adding a speaker. This flaw allows users with contributor-level access and above to create new WordPress user accounts with elevated capabilities, such as publishing content and uploading files. Additionally, by using an email address they control, these users can access the newly created accounts.
Users are advised to update the Eventin WordPress plugin to version 4.1.24 or later.
