Description
The Ticketmeo – Sell Tickets – Event Ticketing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Ticketmeo – Sell Tickets – Event Ticketing plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an attacker with contributor‑level or higher WordPress access to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages through the plugin’s shortcode attributes. The injected script is saved and executed whenever any user views a page containing the shortcode, enabling potential defacement, credential theft, or session hijacking. This attack leverages insufficient input sanitisation and output escaping on the plugin’s attributes, directly compromising the confidentiality and integrity of user interactions within the site.

Affected Systems

Vulnerable installations are WordPress sites running any Ticketmeo – Sell Tickets – Event Ticketing plugin version up to and including 2.3.6. No specific WordPress core version is implicated, but any site using those plugin releases is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, reflecting a low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated contributor or higher access, so the attack surface is limited to privileged users or compromised contributor accounts. If an attacker achieves this, the embedded script will execute client‑side and can be used for data theft or to spread malicious payloads to other visitors.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Ticketmeo plugin to the latest available version, which removes the uncontrolled shortcode attribute processing.
  • If an update is not possible, remove or disable shortcode usage by contributors, or withdraw contributor privileges on the site to prevent injection
  • Implement custom code to escape output from shortcodes using WordPress functions such as esc_js or esc_html to mitigate potential future injection points
