Description

Events Manager Plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the admin defined Events Page script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'event_id' parameter. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
