CVE-2024-8671WooEvents <= 4.1.2 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Overwrite
Critical 9.1
In plain English
A critical-severity path traversal in WooEvents - Calendar and Event Booking from Ex-Themes. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.0% (higher than 63% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The WooEvents - Calendar and Event Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file overwrite due to insufficient file path validation in the inc/barcode.php file in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
