Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2023-0404
CVSS 5.4 (Medium)
Publicly Published December 23, 2022
Last Updated February 3, 2023
Researcher Marco Wotschka - Wordfence

Description

The Events Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on several functions related to AJAX actions in versions up to, and including, 2.3.16. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to invoke those functions intended for administrator use. While the plugin is still pending review from the WordPress repository, site owners can download a copy of the patched version directly from the developer's Github at https://github.com/liedekef/events-made-easy
