CWE-22 — Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

This CVE was published Sep 05, 2026 and is one of 12 known issues for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update Eventin to 4.1.21 or later, or disable and remove it until a fixed version is available.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Technical description

The Eventin WordPress plugin before 4.1.21 does not properly validate a template path value before using it to include a local file, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files.
