CVE-2026-75963: Events Made Easy <= 3.2.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Local File Inclusion via 'wp_page_template' Event Property
The Events Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.5 via the emesingleeventpagetemplate function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. The stored traversal payload is triggered passively when any visitor loads the affected single-event page, meaning post-submission execution does not require additional attacker interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which users can exploit this issue?
An attacker needs an authenticated WordPress account with at least Contributor-level permissions. Exploitation also requires the attacker to be able to cause a PHP file present on the server to be included.
When does the malicious payload execute?
The traversal payload is stored in an event property and is triggered when any visitor loads the affected single-event page. The attacker does not need to interact with the site again after submitting the payload.
What is the impact if exploitation succeeds?
An attacker can include and execute arbitrary PHP files available on the server. This may permit access-control bypass, exposure of sensitive data, or code execution where PHP files can be uploaded and included.
