Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-47539 affects the Eventin plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to escalate their privileges to administrator, leading to complete site compromise. The vulnerability lies in the `/wp-json/eventin/v2/speakers/import` REST API endpoint due to a lack of permission checks when importing users. By sending a crafted CSV file to this endpoint, an attacker can create a new user with administrator privileges, effectively taking control of the entire WordPress site. The issue stems from a flawed `permission_callback` function that always returns true, allowing unauthorized access to the endpoint. The vulnerability has been fixed in Eventin version 4.0.27.
