MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid authenticated WordPress account on the target site (CVSS PR:L), so the attacker must already be able to log in at a low privilege level such as a subscriber/customer role. The target must run Event Tickets version 5.30.0.1 or earlier. Exploitation is limited by this authentication requirement and by the vulnerability's scope: it grants only an unauthorized restricted action with limited integrity impact (I:L, C:N, A:N), not full account takeover or data disclosure. No user interaction by a victim is needed (UI:N), and no special non-default configuration is indicated in the description. |
| Impact | This is a genuine-but-moderate issue, not a top-tier emergency. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that nonetheless requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) and yields only limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss - consistent with CWE-862 Missing Authorization, where an under-privileged but logged-in user can invoke an action they should not. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or public POC was supplied, so there is no signal of active or imminent exploitation; the only source is a Patchstack-reported advisory. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag conflicts with the data: PR:L and CWE-862 indicate a broken-access-control/authorization flaw for already-authenticated users, not a true authentication bypass - treat the tag with caution. Net: a legitimate access-control defect worth patching on a normal cycle, but the authentication requirement and low, integrity-only impact keep real-world risk modest absent any exploitation evidence. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged WordPress account (e.g., a subscriber or any authenticated role) on a site running Event Tickets ≤5.30.0.1 sends a crafted request to a plugin endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization. Because the missing check allows an incorrectly-scoped access level, the attacker performs a restricted ticket/event action they should not be permitted to, altering plugin-managed data. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Missing authorization in Event Tickets 5.30.0.1 and earlier allows an authenticated low-privileged WordPress user, such as a subscriber or customer, to perform a restricted event-ticket action they should not be authorized to perform. The affected product is the Liquid Web/StellarWP Event Tickets WordPress plugin, and the issue carries a moderate CVSS score of 4.3 with only low integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability impact. Exploitation requires a valid login but no victim interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the provided data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/event-tickets/vulnerability/wordpress-event-tickets-plugin-5-30-0-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability-2?_s_id=cve and the plugin vendor for an updated Event Tickets release, and apply it as soon as one is available. Until a fix is applied, restrict event-ticket management actions to administrator or editor roles, review and remove unnecessary low-privilege subscriber or customer accounts because exploitation requires a valid authenticated WordPress login (CVSS PR:L), and monitor WordPress audit logs for unauthorized event-ticket changes. If Event Tickets is not business-critical, deactivating the plugin removes the vulnerable attack surface but disables ticketing functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Event Tickets is a WordPress plugin (slug event-tickets) used for event ticketing and attendee management. The flaw is CWE-862 Missing Authorization: the plugin fails to enforce an authorization check before allowing an action, so a user with only low privileges can bypass intended access-control levels. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N maps to a remotely reachable issue that requires a valid low-privileged account, has low attack complexity, needs no user interaction, does not change scope, and has only low integrity impact. The Patchstack tag Authentication Bypass describes the effect of bypassing role or capability checks rather than an unauthenticated bypass. All versions through 5.30.0.1 are affected per EUVD; no CPE string was supplied in the provided intelligence.
