Until an official fix is available, restrict user privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity involving the 'mec_fes_form' AJAX endpoint. Consider disabling or limiting access to the affected functionality if possible. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users.

Description

The Modern Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 7.12.1 via the 'mec_fes_form' AJAX function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
