Until an official fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual access patterns related to draft events. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to authenticated users. Follow updates from the vendor (stellarwp) for an official patch or mitigation.

Description

The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the 'tec_qr_code_modal' AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 6.15.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to view draft event names and generate/view QR codes for them.
