Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Morato Antoine.
The MDJM Event Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.8.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their email and/or password. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's email addresses or passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.
