Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the AJAX action if possible or disable the plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

The EventON plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'eventon_import_settings' ajax action in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.15. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin settings, including adding stored cross-site scripting to settings options displayed on event calendar pages.
