CVE-2026-2694
The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data and loss of data due to an improper capability check on the 'can_edit' and 'can_delete' function in all versions up to, and including, 6.15.16.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
