An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-24946 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Modern Events Calendar Lite. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24946/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24946/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24946","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24946/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24946","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cmg-w5hw-x6p6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit a SQL injection vulnerability in the Modern Events Calendar Lite plugin to read or modify database contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"modern_events_calendar_lite","vendor":"webnus"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"The Modern Events Calendar Lite WordPress plugin before 6.1.5 does not sanitise and escape the time parameter before using it in a SQL statement in the mec_load_single_page AJAX action, available to unauthenticated users, leading to an unauthenticated SQL injection issue","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2021-12-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2021-12-13","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/http/wp_modern_events_calendar_sqli","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Modern Events Calendar SQLi Scanner"},{"date":"2022-01-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"50687","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Plugin Modern Events Calendar V 6.1 - SQL Injection (Unauthenticated)"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2021/CVE-2021-24946.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Modern Events Calendar \u003c6.1.5 - Blind SQL Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Modern Events Calendar \u003c 6.1.5 - Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24946","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"RVM - Responsive Vector Maps \u003c 6.4.2 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary File Read","id":"CVE-2021-24947"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Like Button Rating \u003c 2.6.38 - Unauthorised Vote Export to Email \u0026 IP Addresses Disclosure","id":"CVE-2021-24945"},"products":["Modern Events Calendar Lite"],"published":"2021-12-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Modern Events Calendar Lite \u003c 5.16.6 - Authenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Modern Events Calendar Lite \u003c 5.16.5 - Unauthenticated Events Export","id":"CVE-2021-24146","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Modern Events Calendar Lite \u003c 5.16.5 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload leading to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24145","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Modern Events Calendar Lite \u003c 6.1.5 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24925","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-13"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Modern Events Calendar Lite \u003c= 6.3.0 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-4458","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-12"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Modern Events Calendar Lite","id":"CVE-2022-30533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit a SQL injection vulnerability in the Modern Events Calendar Lite plugin to read or modify database contents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24946/"}
