What is CVE-2026-2429?
CVE-2026-2429 is a medium-severity SQL injection vulnerability in jackdewey Community Events, published on 7 Mar 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Community Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'ce_venue_name' CSV field in the `on_save_changes_venues` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.8. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied CSV data and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via a crafted CSV file upload.
Weakness: CWE-89
