AI-Generated

The Events Manager plugin for WordPress prior to version 7.4.1 has a vulnerability that improperly scopes capability mapping, allowing unauthenticated users to change passwords, escalate privileges to Administrator, or delete accounts if the user ID matches that of the plugin's posts. This poses a significant risk to user account integrity and overall site security. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description

The Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.4.1 does not properly scope its capability mapping, discarding the access control decisions WordPress already made for unrelated privileged actions, which allows unauthenticated users to change the password of, escalate to Administrator, or delete any account whose user ID happens to match the ID of one of the Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.4.1's own posts.
