Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Event Koi Lite – Events Calendar, Event Management, RSVP, and Tickets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.13.1 via the get_events. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including virtual meeting URLs, physical location data, latitude/longitude coordinates, Google Maps links, and RSVP configuration belonging to draft, pending, and private events that are otherwise inaccessible via public URLs.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Event Koi Lite WordPress plugin exposes sensitive event data through its get_events function. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve draft, pending, and private events containing virtual meeting URLs, physical addresses, GPS coordinates, Google Maps links, and RSVP settings that should not be publicly accessible.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a patched version once available, or implement access control logic in the get_events function to filter out non-public events and require authentication for sensitive metadata retrieval.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Event Koi Lite plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Event Koi Lite', or check the file system at /wp-content/plugins/event-koi-lite/ for the plugin directory
    Affected if The plugin 'Event Koi Lite' is found in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/event-koi-lite/event-koi-lite.php for the 'Version' field, or view the plugin details in WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if The version number cannot be compared to a patched version because no fixed version is specified in available advisories
  3. Locate the get_events function endpoint
    Search plugin files for 'get_events' function and identify if it is exposed as a WordPress AJAX hook (wp_ajax_get_events) or REST API endpoint, typically in the main plugin PHP file
    Affected if The get_events function exists and is registered as a publicly accessible WordPress action or REST endpoint
  4. Verify unauthenticated access to the endpoint
    Send an HTTP request to the identified endpoint (such as /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_events or /wp-json/event-koi/v1/events) without authentication headers
    Affected if The endpoint returns event data without requiring login credentials (HTTP 200 response with JSON data)
  5. Check for sensitive event visibility
    Examine the API response for private, draft, or pending events and verify if fields like meeting URLs, physical addresses, GPS coordinates, or RSVP settings are exposed in the response
    Affected if The response includes draft, pending, or private events containing virtual meeting URLs, physical addresses, GPS coordinates, Google Maps links, or RSVP settings that should require authentication

Your environment is affected if the Event Koi Lite plugin is installed and its get_events function is accessible without authentication, exposing private/draft events with sensitive metadata.
