Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Event Espresso 4 Decaf – Event Registration Event Ticketing plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.0.22.decaf

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the saveTimezoneString and some other functions, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to modify some of the plugin settings. This makes it possible for attackers to alter certain settings without proper authorization.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.0.22.decaf, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the saveTimezoneString and other affected functions. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin settings for users with Subscriber-level access and above until a patch is available.
