Description
Vulnerability
In `modules/events/events_function.php`, the event participation logic allows any user who can participate in an event to register OTHER users by manipulating the `user_uuid` GET parameter.
Line 47: `$getUserUuid = admFuncVariableIsValid($_GET, 'user_uuid', 'uuid', ...)`
Line 424: `if ($event->possibleToParticipate() || $participants->isLeader($gCurrentUserId))`
The condition uses `||` (OR), meaning if `possibleToParticipate()` returns true (event is open for participation), ANY user - not just leaders - can specify a different `user_uuid` and register/cancel participation for that user.
The code then operates on `$user->getValue('usr_id')` (the target user from user_uuid) rather than the current user.
Impact
• Register unwilling users for events (potential harassment/spam)
• Cancel other users' event participation
• Manipulate event participant counts and comments
• If events have participation limits, fill slots with unwanted registrations
Fix
For non-leader users, force `user_uuid` to the current user:
```php
if (!$participants->isLeader($gCurrentUserId)) {
$getUserUuid = $gCurrentUser->getValue('usr_uuid');
}
```
