Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-24537 affects the WordPress plugin The Events Calendar by StellarWP through version 6.7.0. It is a cross-site request forgery issue, meaning a logged-in site user could be tricked into performing unintended plugin actions. The published severity is medium, with limited integrity and availability impact reported.
Executive priority
Treat as a routine but timely WordPress plugin remediation item. It is not reported as actively exploited, but affected public websites should be checked because CSRF can enable unwanted changes by tricking authenticated users.
Technical view
The issue is classified as CWE-352 CSRF in the-events-calendar. CVSS 3.1 is 5.4: network exploitable, low complexity, no attacker privileges, user interaction required, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, low integrity and availability impact. Sources identify affected versions as The Events Calendar through 6.7.0.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with StellarWP The Events Calendar installed at version 6.7.0 or earlier. Sites without the plugin, or running versions not identified as affected, are not indicated as exposed by the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as CISA KEV in the provided data. The attack requires user interaction, consistent with CSRF: a victim must be induced to trigger an unintended action while authenticated. No cited source in the bundle confirms active exploitation.
Researcher notes
Public details are limited in the supplied sources. The record confirms CSRF classification, affected range through 6.7.0, and CVSS vector. It does not provide exploit details, affected actions, or a named fixed version in the bundle.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites using The Events Calendar plugin.
- Identify plugin versions and prioritize those at 6.7.0 or earlier.
- Check StellarWP or WordPress plugin guidance for the fixed or recommended version.
- Upgrade to a vendor-recommended version newer than 6.7.0 when available.
- Restrict administrative access and use standard WordPress CSRF hardening practices.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the-events-calendar is installed on each WordPress instance.
- Record the installed plugin version from trusted administration or asset data.
- Flag versions 6.7.0 or earlier for remediation review.
- Verify remediation by confirming the plugin version is no longer in the affected range.
- Monitor vendor and Patchstack pages for updated remediation details.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
