## Description

The Events Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the [event] and [location] shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.12. This is due to the shortcodes rendering any event or location given by its 'event', 'location' or 'post_id' attribute without checking that the current visitor can read that post or has unlocked its password. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the details of other users' draft, pending or password-protected events and locations.
