Impact
The vulnerability is a missing authorization check that allows attackers to bypass intended access control and gain unauthorized actions on the Event Tickets plugin. This flaw permits unauthorized users to view or modify event information, potentially exposing sensitive data or altering event settings. The weakness is classified as CWE-862: Missing Authorization.
Affected Systems
The issue affects the WordPress Event Tickets plugin from Liquid Web / StellarWP, up to and including version 5.30.0.1. Only releases before 5.30.0.2 are vulnerable; newer versions include a fix.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 4.3, indicating moderate severity. No EPSS data is available. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attack likely requires accessing endpoints that enforce security levels; based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could exploit the missing authorization by navigating to restricted event management pages or APIs, especially when misconfigured. The absence of a low EPSS score suggests low probability in the current public landscape, but the potential for internal escalation or compromised credentials remains.
