Missing Authorization vulnerability in WP Swings Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce event-tickets-manager-for-woocommerce allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 1.5.5.
AnalysisAI
Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in the Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions through 1.5.5 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control levels, resulting in limited but unauthorized modification of data and disruption of availability. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction, lowering the barrier for abuse against any WordPress site with the plugin installed and active. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the WP Swings 'Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce' plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wp_swings:event_tickets_manager_for_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a WordPress plugin extending WooCommerce with event ticketing functionality. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates the plugin registers one or more endpoints - likely WordPress AJAX actions or REST API routes - without enforcing capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) before executing privileged operations. This is a classic WordPress plugin pattern failure: functionality is exposed over HTTP without verifying whether the caller has permission to invoke it, distinct from authentication bypass (which bypasses identity verification) - here, identity may be irrelevant because no authorization gate exists at all. The tag 'Authentication Bypass' from Patchstack suggests the missing check effectively grants unauthenticated actors access to privileged plugin actions.
RemediationAI
Update the Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce plugin to a version beyond 1.5.5. The Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/event-tickets-manager-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-event-tickets-manager-for-woocommerce-plugin-1-5-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability) should be consulted for the confirmed patched release version, as no exact fix version number was included in the available source data - the patched version is not independently confirmed from this dataset. If an immediate update is not possible, a compensating control is to deactivate the plugin entirely until the patch is applied; this eliminates the attack surface but disables all event ticketing functionality. Web application firewall (WAF) rules targeting unauthorized access to the plugin's specific AJAX actions or REST endpoints may also reduce exposure, but the specific endpoint names are not confirmed in the available data and such rules should be validated against false-positive risk.
