Vulnerability Overview

The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.2 via the /wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events/ REST API due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract data from password protected events that they should not have access to.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.8.2.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-202 (Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Data Queries) When trying to keep information confidential, an attacker can often infer some of the information by using statistics.
