| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the vulnerable Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce plugin at a version before 1.6.0, with its ticket-transfer feature present (it is exposed to unauthenticated users by default) and at least one target attendee who purchased via guest checkout. The attacker must reference the victim's ticket (CWE-639 user-controlled key), so some knowledge or enumeration of a valid ticket identifier is needed. No authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are required per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N). Limiting factors: impact is scoped to one attendee's ticket/PDF per request, the target must use guest-checkout tickets, and sites on 1.6.0 or later are not affected. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, prioritise-but-not-emergency issue, consistent with the input Decision label 'this_month'. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring no privileges and no user interaction - meaning any unauthenticated remote user can invoke the vulnerable ticket-transfer function against a default install. That raw reachability argues for urgency. However, the other signals temper it: EPSS is only 0.14% (3rd percentile), the vulnerability is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and the PoC is a reference only, not verified as working exploit code. The impact is also bounded - CVSS rates both confidentiality and integrity as Low (C:L/I:L) and availability None, reflecting that each exploitation leaks one attendee's PII-bearing PDF and invalidates one legitimate ticket rather than compromising the server or mass data. This is therefore a genuine privacy/integrity problem (CWE-639, authorization bypass via user-controlled key) that is easy to trigger but low in per-incident blast radius and not currently seeing confirmed active exploitation. Note the CPE vendor is literally 'unknown', so vendor attribution is unconfirmed in the structured data even though the product and fix are identified by WPScan/EUVD. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to the plugin's ticket-transfer endpoint, referencing a victim's guest-checkout ticket and specifying an attacker-controlled email address. Because no authorization or valid nonce check is enforced, the plugin reassigns the ticket, invalidating the victim's copy and emailing the attendee's PDF - containing personal data - to the attacker. A public PoC reference exists via WPScan; it is not verified as working exploit code, and the network vector with low complexity (AV:N/AC:L) makes the request trivial to reproduce. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 08, 2026
Unauthenticated ticket transfer in the WordPress plugin Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce (versions before 1.6.0) lets an attacker move another attendee's guest-checkout ticket to an email address they control, which invalidates the legitimate ticket and sends the victim's ticket PDF - containing attendee personal data - to the attacker. The ticket-transfer feature performs neither an authorisation nor a valid nonce check, and the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication and no user interaction are required, although the attacker must supply a valid ticket identifier (CWE-639). EPSS is low at 0.14% (3rd percentile), there is no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV), and a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code; the vendor has released 1.6.0 as the fix.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce plugin to 1.6.0 or later, which is the vendor-released patch and the version where the missing authorisation and nonce checks on the ticket-transfer feature are addressed; the plugin reference advisory is at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/470c82a9-cf42-49d8-9606-aaaa7c20679e/. The available sources do not document a workaround for pre-1.6.0 installations, so the update should be treated as the required fix rather than one option among several; the exposure exists because the ticket-transfer feature is reachable by unauthenticated users by default, so until the update is applied, sites should treat guest-checkout ticket transfers as untrusted. Prioritisation is moderate rather than emergency, consistent with the 'this_month' decision label, EPSS of 0.14% (3rd percentile) and the absence of CISA KEV listing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The target is a WordPress plugin that extends WooCommerce with event ticketing and a ticket-transfer function. Per the CWE-639 classification (authorization bypass through user-controlled key), the transfer handler accepts a caller-supplied ticket identifier and acts on the referenced ticket without verifying that the requester is entitled to it; the missing nonce check removes the additional integrity control that WordPress normally uses to tie a request to a legitimate session. Because the feature is reachable by unauthenticated users, the ticket key itself - not any credential - is the only thing standing between the attacker and the transfer action, so knowledge or enumeration of a valid identifier is the practical prerequisite. Impact is confined to tickets originally purchased through guest checkout, and each request affects a single attendee's ticket and its generated PDF, which carries attendee personal data. The affected package is recorded as cpe:2.3:a:unknown:event_tickets_manager_for_woocommerce (vendor not resolved in the CPE dictionary), covering all releases below 1.6.0; sites running 1.6.0 or later are not affected.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 1.6.0 does not perform authorisation or a valid nonce check on its ticket-transfer feature, which is available to unauthenticated users, allowing them to transfer other attendees' guest-checkout tickets to an email address of their choosing, invalidating the legitimate ticket and causing the victim's ticket PDF, which contains attendee personal data, to be sent to the attacker.
