CVE-2026-9228

What is known

The Timetable and Event Schedule by MotoPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.16 via the action_get_event_data due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to enumerate timeslot IDs and read the full WP_Post object — including post_content, post_excerpt, post_status, and post_author — of draft, pending, and private mp-event posts belonging to other users, along with their associated raw timeslot descriptions.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-9228, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 4.3) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
