## Description

The Events Calendar by FooEvents plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data via the fooevents-eventbrite-import AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.5, due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification in the import_events_from_eventbrite function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to trigger an import from the site's connected Eventbrite account using the stored Eventbrite token. The import creates published event posts, and overwrites and re-publishes existing imported event posts.
