Path Traversal in Themewinter Eventin ≤ 4.0.27
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2025-47445 is a high-severity Relative Path Traversal (CWE-23) vulnerability in Themewinter Eventin. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-47445 is a relative path traversal vulnerability, tracked as CWE-23, in the Arraytics Eventin plugin (wp-event-solution) for WordPress. The flaw affects all versions through 4.0.26 and permits unauthorized access to files outside intended directories, resulting in a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 with network attack vector, no authentication or user interaction required, and high confidentiality impact.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted path sequences to the affected plugin endpoints, enabling arbitrary file download from the server filesystem. Successful exploitation grants read access to sensitive files such as configuration data, credentials, or other restricted content without leaving modification traces.
The Patchstack advisory at the referenced URL classifies the issue as an arbitrary file download vulnerability and directs administrators to apply the vendor-supplied update that resolves the path traversal logic. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1358 on 2026-04-02 before receding to the current value of 0.0697, indicating a measurable increase in exploitation interest after public disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Explicit validation of path inputs stops .. sequences from ever being interpreted by the file system.
Access enforcement directly blocks unauthorized file reads/writes that result from unresolved .. sequences.
Information-flow rules can be configured to reject traversals that would move data outside an approved directory boundary.
Least privilege reduces the set of reachable files even when a traversal succeeds.
Secure-engineering principles require safe pathname construction and input neutralization before any file operation.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent relative traversal.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis, but does not itself implement the fix.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and path-handling controls that directly prevent relative path traversal.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal and other injection flaws.
Secure architecture principles include directory isolation and canonicalization, reducing but not eliminating traversal risk.
Secure coding standards require neutralizing path traversal sequences, directly addressing CWE-23.
Information access restriction limits which files can be reached, mitigating impact but not preventing the traversal flaw.
