Technical description
The Event post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized bulk metadata update due to a missing capability check on the save_bulkdatas function in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access or higher, to update post_meta_data.
