## Description

The Import Meetup Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data via the ime_deauthorize_action admin-post action in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.5, due to a missing capability check and missing nonce validation on the ime_deauthorize_user function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete the stored Meetup authorized user and access token options, which disconnects the site from its Meetup account and stops further imports.
