What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Community Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax_admin_event_approval() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to approve arbitrary events via the 'eventlist' parameter.

The vulnerability requires no user interaction and affects the integrity of stored events. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 1.5.6 as soon as possible.
