Deeper analysis
The Events Made Easy WordPress plugin before version 2.2.81 contains a SQL injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-1905. The flaw stems from insufficient sanitization and escaping of a parameter supplied to a SQL statement executed through an AJAX action, corresponding to CWE-89 and carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can invoke the affected AJAX endpoint to inject arbitrary SQL, potentially resulting in full compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database and underlying WordPress site.
