| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the target Pretix instance has the pretix-mollie plugin installed and an active Mollie payment method enabled in the event configuration. The attacker must first successfully complete at least one real Mollie payment on the same pretix-mollie deployment to obtain a valid 'paid' status response for replay. Knowledge of or the ability to enumerate pending order identifiers on the target instance is also necessary to redirect the replayed status to additional orders. Exploitation is limited to the Mollie payment gateway path specifically; other payment integrations are not affected. There is no authentication requirement to trigger the payment callback endpoint itself, but a prior completed payment on the same instance is an absolute prerequisite. |
| Impact | The CVSS base score of 6.3 with High Attack Complexity and Attack Target: Present (AT:P) accurately reflects the preconditions: the attacker must first complete one legitimate payment to obtain a valid status response, then replay it against a second order, which requires precise timing and knowledge of the order identifier scheme. Despite PR:N (no account privilege required), the actual operational bar is non-trivial. EPSS data was not provided; without it, exploitation probability cannot be quantified, but the limited deployment footprint of pretix-mollie and the requirement for a real preceding payment reduce realistic mass-exploitation risk significantly. There is no KEV listing and no public PoC, making this a medium-priority remediation rather than an emergency response. The financial integrity impact is real - fraudulent ticket issuance results in direct revenue loss for event organizers - but availability and confidentiality are unaffected. CVSS integrity impact is rated Low on both the vulnerable and subsequent system, which is consistent with a business-logic bypass rather than arbitrary data modification. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker purchases one low-value ticket, completing a genuine Mollie payment and capturing the resulting 'paid' status callback. The attacker then initiates checkout for additional tickets in separate orders but, instead of completing those payments, injects the previously captured successful payment status response into the payment confirmation endpoint for each new order. The pretix-mollie plugin accepts the replayed status without verifying the payment-to-order binding, issuing valid tickets for all targeted orders while only one payment was processed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 25, 2026
Payment status replay in pretix-mollie allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain multiple valid event tickets by reusing a single legitimate Mollie payment confirmation. The plugin fails to bind payment status responses to their originating transaction, so a successful payment callback for order A can be submitted against order B. No active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch was released on 2026-06-25 in version 2026.5.2.
RemediationAI
Upgrade pretix-mollie to version 2026.5.2, which addresses the improper payment status binding per the vendor release post at https://pretix.eu/about/en/blog/20260625-release-2026-5-2/. Until patching is possible, a targeted workaround is to temporarily disable the Mollie payment method in the Pretix admin panel and direct ticket purchasers to an alternative payment provider, accepting the trade-off of reduced payment options. A second compensating control is to implement post-sale order audit checks: cross-reference Mollie transaction IDs against issued tickets in the Pretix order backend and flag or revoke any ticket where the bound Mollie payment ID does not match the expected order reference. This manual review adds operational overhead but can detect abuse that has already occurred.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Pretix is an open-source self-hosted event ticketing platform; pretix-mollie (CPE cpe:2.3:a:pretix:pretix-mollie:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is its payment gateway integration for the Dutch payment service provider Mollie. The root cause is CWE-841 (Improper Enforcement of Behavioral Workflow): the plugin accepts Mollie's 'paid' status signal without verifying that the referenced payment ID or order token in the response cryptographically or referentially matches the specific pending order being confirmed. This allows the payment validation workflow to be driven out of the intended sequence - a confirmed payment for one order satisfies the payment gate for an entirely different order. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:P) reflects that exploitation requires a prior successful payment within the same system instance to harvest a usable status response.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Our payment integration with Mollie did not properly validate payment status responses. An attacker could use a successful payment status response from one payment and supply it to the system for a different payment, gaining access to multiple valid tickets with only one payment.
