Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Events Made Easy <= 3.1.3 versions.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in the Events Made Easy plugin for WordPress up to version 3.1.3 permits unauthenticated remote attackers to modify event data and partially disrupt service availability without user interaction. This broken access control flaw stems from a missing capability check (CWE-862) on a REST API or AJAX endpoint, leading to low integrity and availability impact with no confidentiality loss.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the Events Made Easy WordPress plugin, a PHP-based event management tool. The affected code does not verify user permissions (e.g., via current_user_can()) before executing sensitive actions, typically in an AJAX or REST endpoint. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to invoke restricted functions. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:franky:events_made_easy:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the vendor and product scope.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Events Made Easy plugin to a version later than 3.1.3. The exact patched version is not explicitly stated in the advisory, but the Patchstack entry commonly implies a fix in 3.1.4 or later. Immediately download the latest release from the WordPress plugin repository or the vendor’s site. If patching is delayed, disable the plugin until the update can be applied-this removes all event functionality but eliminates the vulnerability. Monitor the vendor’s changelog for confirmation of the fix.
