Unauthenticated arbitrary content deletion via playlist requests
Published Sep 13, 2026 · Updated Sep 13, 2026
Missing authorization in MDJM Event Management before 1.7.8.5 allows remote attackers to permanently delete arbitrary WordPress content. Its playlist entry removal handler accepts a request-supplied post ID and permanently deletes the referenced record without checking a capability, nonce, or record type. No account or user interaction is required, and posts, pages, and media attachments bypass the trash; Mobile Events Manager 1.4.8.3 and earlier contains the same flaw.
