What is CVE-2026-86795?
The Community Events WordPress plugin prior to version 1.6.0 contains a vulnerability due to the absence of proper authorization and nonce checks in one of its AJAX actions. This oversight enables unauthorized users to access and retrieve sensitive details of event submissions that are pending moderation—information that should remain confidential and is not displayed on the public section of the site. This flaw poses a significant risk, allowing potential exploitation to gain insights into unpublished content.
