Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) flaw in the Events Manager WordPress plugin before version 7.4.5. It allows users with Contributor-level access or higher to manipulate ticket-update requests and overwrite any ticket on the site, reassigning them to their own events without proper authorization.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the Events Manager plugin version on your WordPress site. If it is below 7.4.5, the site is vulnerable. You can verify the version via the WordPress admin panel under Plugins or by inspecting the plugin files for version details.

Impact Analysis

If you manage events or tickets on a WordPress site using the vulnerable plugin version, an attacker with Contributor-level access could take control of tickets they are not authorized to manage. This could disrupt event operations, lead to ticket mismanagement, or allow unauthorized users to claim tickets for their own events.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by allowing unauthorized users to access and reassign event tickets, which may involve processing personal data. Unauthorized access to or modification of ticket data could lead to violations of data integrity and confidentiality requirements under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Events Manager plugin to version 7.4.5 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin temporarily until a patch is applied. Review ticket assignments and event permissions to identify any unauthorized changes.
