Technical description

The Events Made Easy WordPress plugin before 3.1.4 does not verify that the requester is authorized to modify the targeted record when handling an unauthenticated data-change request, relying only on a public nonce with no per-record token or ownership check, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the personal data of any person record.
