Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Eventin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.34. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity or capability prior to updating their details like email in the 'Eventin\Speaker\Api\SpeakerController::update_item' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.

The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify a user's identity or permissions before allowing updates to user details such as email addresses. Attackers can change the email address of any user, including administrators, and then use that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.
