This CVE was published Sep 05, 2026 and is one of 12 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Eventin to 4.1.22 or later, or disable and remove it until a fixed version is available.

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 4.1.22 does not properly check authorization on several of its event-management REST routes, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to change the site's front-page setting to an event they do not own and to create, edit and delete global event and speaker taxonomy terms they should not be able to manage.
