CVE-2024-0235 affects the EventON WordPress plugin before versions 4.5.5 and 2.2.7. The vulnerability is caused by missing authorization checks in an AJAX action exposed by the plugin. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can invoke the affected AJAX functionality and retrieve the email addresses of arbitrary users registered on the WordPress site. Based on the provided information, the issue is an authorization flaw in server-side handling of an AJAX endpoint rather than a memory corruption or code execution bug.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-0235, targeting the EventON WordPress plugin (Free <2.2.8, Premium <4.5.5). The exploit script (CVE-2024-0235.py) first checks the version of the EventON plugin by reading the readme.txt file from the plugin directory. If the version is vulnerable, it sends a POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with the action 'eventon_get_virtual_users', attempting to retrieve email addresses of users by exploiting a missing authorization check. The script extracts and prints any email addresses found in the response. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions. The exploit is unauthenticated and leverages a network-based attack vector against WordPress sites running the vulnerable plugin.
