Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Roundup WP Registrations for the Events Calendar plugin versions up to 2.12.1 contain a missing authorization vulnerability. The plugin fails to properly enforce authorization checks on certain functionality, allowing users to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This enables authenticated attackers to access or modify resources beyond their intended permissions.
