Contributor-level event disclosure via unchecked shortcode IDs
Published Jun 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
IDOR in The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro before 6.4.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to read restricted event details. The tribe:event-details and tribe_event_inline shortcodes accept an attacker-selected event ID and render drafts, private events, or password-protected events without enforcing that event's access restrictions. Contributor-level post editing and knowledge or guessing of an event ID are required; the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of event content.
