Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: EventON plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2.15

Description: The issue arises from a missing capability check on the 'eventon import settings' ajax action, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify data. This enables attackers to update plugin settings, including adding stored cross-site scripting to settings options displayed on event calendar pages.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 2.2.15, update to a version higher than 2.2.15 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the eventon import settings ajax action until a patch is available. Restrict access to the event calendar pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
