## Technical details

The Events Made Easy plugin for WordPress fails to perform adequate authorization checks when handling data-change requests via the 'eme_cpi' AJAX action. The application relies solely on a public frontend nonce for validation, which can be easily scraped by any visitor. Because there is no per-record token or ownership verification, an unauthenticated attacker can supply a targeted 'person_id' and overwrite PII (Personally Identifiable Information) including names, emails, and phone numbers. This vulnerability is classified as an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) and was addressed in version 3.1.4.
