Code execution via template path inclusion
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Local file inclusion in Events Made Easy through 3.2.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP code via crafted event template data. The eme_single_event_page_template function uses attacker-controlled wp_page_template event metadata as a file path and feeds the stored traversal value into template-include logic without restricting it to expected theme templates. Contributor-level access is required to store the payload, and execution occurs later when any visitor loads the affected single-event page; sensitive data exposure and access-control bypass follow when includable PHP files are present.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
