Descriptions

The Quick Event Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing authorization checks on various calls in the qem_messages() function in versions up to, and including, 9.7.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to manage and alter registration settings that should be intended for site administrators.
