Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the target WordPress site (CVSS PR:L), so the attacker must hold a valid account - the realistic precondition is a site that permits user registration or that issues accounts to attendees/customers via Event Tickets. The flaw is reachable remotely over HTTP (AV:N) with low complexity and no victim interaction (AC:L/UI:N) against affected versions up to 5.30.1. The limiting factor is the authentication requirement and the scope: impact is confined to unauthorized access/modification of ticketing objects addressable by a user-controlled key (I:L, C:N, A:N per the vendor vector); sites that do not expose self-service accounts substantially reduce the attacker population.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity IDOR/broken-object-level-authorization flaw (CWE-639) with a vendor (Patchstack) CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 via vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The signals are internally consistent and point to a real-but-bounded issue rather than an urgent emergency: network vector and low complexity ease exploitation, but PR:L means a valid authenticated account is required, and the impact is scoped to low integrity only (C:N/A:N), i.e. an attacker can manipulate or access objects they should not by substituting a user-controlled key, without broad data disclosure or availability loss. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, SSVC decision data, or POC was provided in the input, so exploitation-probability and automatability cannot be quantified. There is no conflict among the provided signals; the main caveat is that CWE-639 IDORs frequently also leak information (confidentiality), yet the vendor vector sets C:N - if the affected object exposes attendee/ticket data this could understate confidentiality impact, so verify the concrete object scope with the vendor advisory. Overall this is a 'patch in normal cycle' item for most sites, not a drop-everything critical.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privilege user (e.g. a registered site subscriber or attendee) on a WordPress site running Event Tickets ≤5.30.1 sends a request that references another user's ticket, order, or attendee object by manipulating an ID or key parameter. Because access control on that key is improperly enforced, the server returns or modifies the other user's object, allowing unauthorized access to or tampering with ticketing data. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires a valid account but no victim interaction.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026

Authorization bypass in the WordPress Event Tickets plugin (all versions through 5.30.1) lets an authenticated user tamper with user-controlled object keys and reach ticketing records that should belong to another attendee, customer, or event. Because exploitation requires a valid logged-in account (CVSS PR:L), the realistic exposure is limited to sites that permit self-registration or that automatically issue accounts to attendees and customers; the impact stays within unauthorized read/modification of ticketing objects (I:L, no confidentiality or availability effect), giving a moderate vendor score of 4.3. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue has not been added to CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data at time of analysis, so the primary action is to track the Patchstack advisory for Event Tickets and upgrade the plugin to the first release published after 5.30.1 as soon as it is available, testing on staging first because Event Tickets upgrades frequently touch ticketing and order schema. In the interim, apply targeted compensating controls: disable open user registration and any self-service attendee/customer account provisioning so the PR:L precondition cannot be met by untrusted parties (trade-off: attendees must check out as guests or accounts must be issued manually); review the site's role assignments and remove low-privilege accounts that do not need ticketing access (trade-off: administrative overhead, potential disruption to legitimate customers); and front the site with a WAF or reverse proxy rule that restricts the plugin's ticket/attendee/order endpoints to authenticated users with expected referrers and rate-limits sequential object-ID enumeration (trade-off: false positives on legitimate AJAX traffic and possible breakage of checkout flows). Because the weakness is integrity-only and requires an existing account, these controls meaningfully reduce exposure while the vendor fix is awaited.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is a classic insecure direct object reference (CWE-639, Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) in the Event Tickets WordPress plugin published by Liquid Web / StellarWP. WordPress plugins of this class routinely pass record identifiers - ticket, order, attendee, and event post IDs - through request parameters and AJAX/REST handlers; the handler here performs the lookup but fails to verify that the requesting user actually owns or is authorized for the referenced object. Because WordPress object identifiers are sequential integers, an authenticated low-privilege user with any legitimate account can enumerate adjacent keys and reach other users' ticketing data. The CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:liquid_web_/_stellarwp:event_tickets) confirms the target is the plugin itself rather than the WordPress core, and the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N shows the attack is remote, low-complexity, requires no victim interaction, and is scoped to the plugin component with a limited integrity-only impact.
