Description
Admidio before 5.0.17 contains an improper access control vulnerability that allows authenticated members to register event guests by submitting the additional_guests field when guests are disallowed. Attackers can set additional_guests to the remaining seat count in modules/events/events_function.php to exhaust event capacity and block other members from registering.
