The Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.4 does not perform any authorization check on a REST route that serves temporarily stored file uploads, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve another user's in-progress upload when its temporary identifier is known. The identifier is high-entropy, is disclosed only to the uploader, and the file is removed on submission or by a scheduled cleanup, so a cross-user read is not achievable by guessing alone.
Casky was already ahead
This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 284matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.
The Events Manager WordPress plugin before version 7.4 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its REST API endpoint handling file uploads. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve other users' in-progress file uploads by knowing the temporary file identifier, which—while high-entropy and only disclosed to the uploader—becomes exploitable if disclosed through secondary attack vectors or social engineering. This vulnerability affects all WordPress installations running vulnerable versions of the plugin, potentially exposing sensitive user data during the upload process. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because it bypasses authentication entirely, allowing unauthorized information access that violates the principle of least privilege.
Casky's 284 mapped security skills, leveraging Claude's extended reasoning capabilities, detect this vulnerability pattern across two MITRE ATT&CK techniques: TA0043 (Reconnaissance) and TA0009 (Collection). Practitioners using Casky would observe findings flagging improper REST API endpoint validation, missing authorization decorators on upload handlers, and unauthenticated access to file resources. The platform's skill detection engine would identify the CWE-200 (Information Exposure) root cause by analyzing code patterns where WordPress nonce verification or capability checks are absent from REST routes. Practitioners would see specific indicators such as REST endpoints accepting file retrieval requests without authentication, temporary file paths being exposed in API responses, and server logs showing successful unauthenticated requests to file upload endpoints—enabling defenders to identify compromised environments and patch systems before attackers leverage secondary disclosure methods to obtain identifiers.
