Summary

The Eventin WordPress plugin before 4.1.24 does not verify a user's capability to create accounts when adding a speaker. This allows users with contributor-level access and above to create new WordPress user accounts that carry capabilities beyond their own, including publishing content and uploading files, and, by supplying an email address they control, to obtain a working login to the created account.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to privilege escalation and unauthorized creation of high-privilege accounts, which could lead to website takeover and security breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Eventin plugin to version 4.1.24 or later, which adds capability checks when creating speaker accounts.
