If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the REST API endpoints serving temporary uploads where possible and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. Avoid sharing temporary upload identifiers and ensure cleanup processes are functioning correctly.
Description
The Events Manager WordPress plugin before version 7.4 has a vulnerability where it does not perform authorization checks on a REST route that serves temporarily stored file uploads. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to access another user's in-progress upload if they know the temporary high-entropy identifier. However, the identifier is only disclosed to the uploader, and files are removed upon submission or scheduled cleanup, limiting the risk of unauthorized access by guessing alone.
