An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-84742 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown The Events Calendar. 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-2026-84742/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84742/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-84742","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84742/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-84742","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4882-xrgv-cg68"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Contributors can bypass editorial review and publish content directly via the REST API due to missing capability checks in The Events Calendar plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":2.7,"severity":"low","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"The Events Calendar WordPress plugin before 6.17.5 does not check the capability required to publish content before creating or updating it through its REST API, allowing users with a role that cannot normally publish, such as contributor, to publish content directly and bypass editorial review.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"The Events Calendar 6.15.0 - 6.17.4.1 - Contributor+ Content Publication via TEC V1 REST API","id":"CVE-2026-84742","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in The Events Calendar","id":"CVE-2026-84743"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"The Events Calendar 4.5 - 6.17.4.1 - Unauthenticated Non-Public Venue and Organizer Disclosure via REST API","id":"CVE-2026-84741"},"products":["The Events Calendar"],"published":"2026-09-23","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can bypass editorial review and publish content directly via the REST API due to missing capability checks in The Events Calendar plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84742/"}
