Unauthenticated settings changes via undisclosed authorization failure
Published Jan 22, 2026 · Updated Jan 22, 2026
Missing authorization in Event Espresso 4 Decaf 5.0.37.decaf and earlier allows remote attackers to change plugin settings. The public CNA record and Patchstack advisory do not identify the request handler or the authorization check omitted before accepting settings changes. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published assessment limits the effect to settings integrity and service availability.
