CVE-2026-12987
Last modified
CVE-2026-12987 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.3.7 does not safely handle booking-registration data on sites using No-User-Account Booking Mode: a booker-supplied registration field is stored as booking meta and later deserialized without restricting allowed classes, enabling PHP object injection. The resulting gadget chain reaches a database query that is built without parameterisation, so an unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary database data (e.g. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
The Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.3.7 does not safely handle booking-registration data on sites using No-User-Account Booking Mode: a booker-supplied registration field is stored as booking meta and later deserialized without restricting allowed classes, enabling PHP object injection. The resulting gadget chain reaches a database query that is built without parameterisation, so an unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary database data (e.g. user password hashes, secret keys) when the booking is later loaded.
