CVE-2025-31739
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in Manuel Schmalstieg Minimalistic Event Manager minimalistic-event-manager allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Minimalistic Event Manager: from n/a through <= 1.1.1.
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 · low confidenceA Missing Authorization vulnerability exists in Minimalistic Event Manager versions up to 1.1.1 where access control security levels are incorrectly configured, allowing unauthorized users to access functionality or data they should not be permitted to reach.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed version of Minimalistic Event ManagerCheck the plugin/theme version file, typically found in the main plugin file header, a version.php file, or the plugin metadata (e.g., readme.txt, composer.json)Affected if The installed version is 1.1.1 or earlier (any version up to and including 1.1.1)
-
Locate the access control or security level configurationSearch for configuration files related to user roles, permissions, or security levels - commonly in config files, database options, or settings panels where authorization rules are definedAffected if A security level or access control configuration exists and is present in the environment
-
Verify if role-based access control is properly enforced on sensitive endpointsInspect the code or configuration that handles authorization checks before executing sensitive operations (event creation, modification, deletion, data access)Affected if Sensitive operations can be accessed without proper authorization validation or with an incorrectly configured security level
-
Test whether lower-privilege users can access higher-privilege functionalityCreate or use a test account with limited/restricted permissions and attempt to access admin, moderator, or privileged features or dataAffected if Users with lower security levels can access functionality designated for higher security levels
-
Review security level assignment for user rolesExamine how user roles are mapped to security levels - check database tables, configuration arrays, or settings that define which roles have which permissionsAffected if Security levels are assigned in a way that allows unauthorized access or if the level assignment logic is missing or broken
A user is affected if Minimalistic Event Manager version 1.1.1 or earlier is installed AND access control security levels are configured in a way that permits unauthorized users to access privileged functionality or data.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReview and correctly configure access control security levels to ensure all sensitive operations and endpoints properly validate user authorization before granting access.
