The MDJM Event Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.8.4. This is due to missing capability checks and nonce verification in the
MDJM Permissions::set permissions() and MDJM Employee Manager::init() functions, combined with the absence of server-side allow-list validation on the employee roles[] and new role POST parameters before they are passed to mdjm set employee role() and WP User::set role(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to grant arbitrary MDJM capabilities — including mdjm employee and mdjm employee edit — to any registered WordPress role, and subsequently leverage a subscriber-level account to escalate privileges to Administrator. MDJM Permissions::init() is registered on the public WordPress init hook without any authentication gate, meaning the role-manipulation endpoint is reachable without any prior login.Fix
