Eventin <= 4.0.34 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Privilege Escalation via User Email Change/Account Takeover

介绍

# CVE-2025-4796
Eventin <= 4.0.34 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Privilege Escalation via User Email Change/Account Takeover

# 🛡️ Eventin <= 4.0.34 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Privilege Escalation (CVE-2025-4796)

## 📌 Overview
This repository documents a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Eventin WordPress plugin (<= 4.0.34) that allows an authenticated user with Contributor+ capabilities to change arbitrary users' email addresses via the plugin's speaker update API. By changing an administrator's email, an attacker can trigger a password reset and gain account takeover.

- Vulnerable component: Eventin WordPress plugin (Eventin\Speaker\Api\SpeakerController::update_item)
- Affected versions: <= 4.0.34
- CVE: CVE-2025-4796
- CVSS: 8.8 (High)




- Active installations: 10,000+

## ⚠️ Vulnerability Details
Eventin does not properly validate the identity or capability of the caller before updating speaker/user details (specifically email). An attacker who is authenticated as a contributor (or higher) can change the email address of other users — including administrators — using the plugin REST endpoint:
- PUT /wp-json/eventin/v2/speakers/<speaker_id>

Once the email is changed to an attacker-controlled address, the standard WordPress password reset flow can be used to take over the account.

## 🧰 Script (PoC)
Filename: `CVE-2025-4796.py`

This script automates the steps:
1. Log in to the target WordPress site using supplied credentials.
2. Extract the required X-WP-Nonce 
3. Send a PUT request to `/wp-json/eventin/v2/speakers/<speaker_id>` to update the speaker's email.
4. Print and format the JSON response and a professional success message.

Requirements:
- Python 3.8+
- requests

Installation:
```sh
pip install requests
```

## 🚀 Usage
Run the script from the command line:

```sh
python CVE-2025-4796.py -u https://target.site -id 9 -email attacker@example.com -user contributor_user -pass contributor_password
```
