MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target must be a WordPress site running the Tickera (tickera-event-ticketing-system) plugin at version 3.6.0.6 or earlier, with the vulnerable ticketing endpoint/parameter reachable. The supplied CVSS vector states PR:N (no authentication) and UI:N (no user interaction), which would mean exploitation against a default installation with no special configuration; however, the exact vulnerable feature/parameter is not named in the description and Patchstack plugin SQLi frequently requires an authenticated role, so the true limiting factor (unauthenticated vs. a required logged-in privilege level) must be confirmed from the Patchstack advisory. Being blind SQLi, exploitation is slower and inference-based but still fully automatable given AC:L. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L) scores 9.3 (Critical) and describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated (PR:N) blind SQL injection with a scope change and high confidentiality impact - on paper a top-priority flaw. However, several real-risk tempering signals exist: no EPSS exploitation probability was supplied, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV (no confirmed active exploitation), and no public POC is referenced, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The single source is Patchstack's WordPress vulnerability database, which commonly classifies plugin SQLi as requiring some authenticated role (e.g., subscriber/author/admin) rather than fully unauthenticated; the PR:N in the vector should be VERIFIED against the Patchstack advisory, because if authentication is actually required the real-world risk is meaningfully lower than the 9.3 suggests. Net: treat as a high-priority patch item for Tickera users due to the confidentiality impact and blind SQLi primitive, but the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC signals points to a patch-now-but-not-yet-exploited posture rather than an emergency, and the PR:N claim is the key unverified variable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends crafted input to a vulnerable Tickera endpoint parameter that is concatenated into a SQL query, and uses blind boolean/time-based techniques to infer database contents (e.g., WordPress user records, order/attendee data) one condition at a time. No public exploit code is referenced, but the AC:L/AV:N vector means the injection is straightforward to automate once the vulnerable parameter is identified. If the Patchstack advisory confirms a required logged-in role, the attacker would first need valid credentials at that privilege level. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026
Blind SQL injection in the Tickera WordPress event ticketing plugin, affecting versions through 3.6.0.6, lets a remote attacker inject crafted input into a plugin SQL query and exfiltrate database contents one inference at a time. The vulnerability is scored by its reporter at CVSS 9.3 (network reachable, low complexity, scope-changing, high confidentiality impact), while our own assessment is more conservative - CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:N/C:H/I:N/A:N - because the specific vulnerable endpoint or parameter is not named and Patchstack-documented plugin SQLi issues frequently require a logged-in role. The supplied vector states PR:N (unauthenticated) but the alternative assessment assumes PR:L, so authentication requirements are not confirmed from the available data; no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis. Because exploitation is blind and inference-based, extraction is slower than a direct-query injection, though AC:L means it remains automatable once a working payload path is found.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the data provided at time of analysis, so the first step is to check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/tickera-event-ticketing-system/vulnerability/wordpress-tickera-plugin-3-6-0-6-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and the plugin's WordPress.org changelog for a release after 3.6.0.6 and to upgrade to that exact version once published - do not assume a version number that is not documented. Where an update is not yet available, the highest-fidelity compensating control is to deactivate and, if possible, remove the Tickera plugin entirely on sites that do not need it; the trade-off is loss of ticketing and event registration functionality, so this is realistic mainly for installations where the plugin is unused or staged. On sites that must keep operating, restriction is the next best lever: place the site behind authentication or IP allow-listing for administrative and ticketing routes, or deny direct access to the plugin's PHP files and admin-ajax/REST handlers in the web server configuration, accepting that this can break legitimate checkout and attendee-facing flows. A virtual patching or WAF layer with SQL-injection signatures aimed at the Tickera endpoints provides partial protection and is fast to deploy, but it is signature-dependent, bypassable, and must be tuned to avoid blocking legitimate ticket searches. Additionally, verify the principle of least privilege on the WordPress database user - a user without FILE, DROP, or cross-schema grants limits what a successful injection can reach - and review database and web logs for boolean- or time-based probing patterns against ticketing routes while no patch exists.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The defect is CWE-89, improper neutralization of special elements in an SQL command, inside the Tickera event ticketing plugin for WordPress (CPE cpe:2.3:a:tickera:tickera:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* - a wildcard version range, meaning the reporter did not pin affected builds beyond 'through 3.6.0.6'). The class of flaw means user-controllable input reaches a SQL query without proper parameterization or escaping, typically via WordPress's $wpdb interface where developers concatenate request parameters directly into a query string instead of using $wpdb->prepare(). In this instance the injection is blind: rather than returning query results or error output to the attacker, the application's response differs only by true/false state or timing, so an attacker enumerates data by boolean inference or time-based delays. Practical targets in a ticketing plugin include the database tables holding ticket orders, attendee records, and customer data accessible to the WordPress database user, so the confidentiality impact is high while integrity and availability impact in our assessment is nil - the query is abused for reads, not for modification. The reporter's vector asserts a scope change (S:C) because exploitation of a plugin affects the surrounding WordPress site; our assessment treats the scope as unchanged (S:N). The plugin's broad install base and the fact that it is publicly distributed through WordPress.org make identification of vulnerable sites straightforward, but the absence of a named vulnerable parameter in the description means the attack surface must be pinpointed from the vendor/reporter advisory before a payload can be constructed.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Tickera Tickera tickera-event-ticketing-system allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Tickera: from n/a through 3.6.0.6.
Executive ViewAI
A critical blind SQL injection vulnerability affects the Tickera event ticketing plugin for WordPress in all versions through 3.6.0.6, potentially allowing an attacker to extract the underlying site database - including customer and ticketing records - one inference at a time. Because no vendor patch is currently available, any organization running this plugin on an internet-facing WordPress site carries an unmitigated data-theft exposure that could trigger breach notification and regulatory obligations.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable or remove the Tickera plugin where not operationally required; deploy WAF or virtual-patching rules blocking SQL injection against ticketing endpoints; restrict network access to plugin endpoints via IP allowlisting and rate limiting; apply least-privilege permissions to the database account used by WordPress; enable database query logging and monitoring for anomalous inference-style queries; if the deployed configuration requires a logged-in role, limit access to trusted roles and enforce MFA; and segment the WordPress database from other sensitive systems.
