CVE-2026-40308: Insecure direct object reference vulnerability
My Calendar is a WordPress plugin for managing calendar events. In versions 3.7.6 and below, the mc_ajax_mcjs_action AJAX endpoint, registered for unauthenticated users, passes user-supplied arguments through parse_str() without validation, allowing injection of arbitrary parameters including a site value. On WordPress Multisite installations, this enables an unauthenticated attacker to call switch_to_blog() with an arbitrary site ID and extract calendar events from any sub-site on the network, including private or hidden events. On standard Single Site installations, switch_to_blog() does not exist, causing an uncaught PHP fatal error and crashing the worker thread, creating an unauthenticated denial of service vector. This issue has been fixed in version 3.7.7.
