Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate EventPrime plugin versionCheck the plugin header file (usually eventprime.php in wp-content/plugins/eventprime-event-booking/) or view the installed plugins list in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins. The version is listed in the plugin metadata.Affected if The displayed version is lower than 3.4.0 or the version cannot be determined (plugin may be outdated/customized).
-
Identify publicly accessible EventPrime endpointsReview your web server access logs for requests to EventPrime-related URLs. Common patterns include paths containing '/eventprime/', '/events/', '/bookings/', or '/ep-'. Use grep or log analysis tools to enumerate exposed endpoints.Affected if EventPrime endpoints are accessible without requiring WordPress login credentials (no authentication token or session required).
-
Test authorization on sensitive operationsAttempt to perform privileged actions (such as creating, modifying, or deleting events, venues, or bookings) using a web request from an incognito browser window or via curl without providing valid authentication credentials.Affected if The operations complete successfully without returning an authorization error (401/403 HTTP response).
-
Verify capability checks exist in plugin codeExamine EventPrime PHP files for current_user_can() or wp_get_current_user() calls before executing sensitive functions. Check common action handlers in includes/ or admin/ directories within the plugin folder.Affected if No capability verification is found before sensitive operations, or the plugin version is confirmed below 3.4.0.
You are affected if the installed EventPrime version is below 3.4.0 AND sensitive plugin endpoints or operations can be accessed without authentication or proper capability verification.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.4.0
Update EventPrime to the latest version which implements proper authorization checks. If no update is available, restrict access to affected endpoints via server-side configuration as a temporary measure.
EventPrime version 3.4.0
- 1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
- 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- 3. Locate the EventPrime plugin in the list
