Description
The Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'tc_event_filter' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.0.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with staff-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerable code path is reachable by users holding the plugin's custom Staff role, as the plugin's add_required_capabilities() function grants that role the edit_tc_tickets_instances capability, providing access to the tc_tickets_instances admin list screen where the filter is applied.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events plugin for WordPress contains a classic SQL injection flaw. The vulnerability arises when the tc_event_filter parameter is inserted into an existing SQL statement without proper escaping or preparation. Capitalizing on this, an authenticated attacker with staff-level or higher privileges can append malicious SQL fragments, enabling the extraction of database contents. This weakness is identified as CWE‑89.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Tickera plugin installed in versions 3.6.0.1 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability is reachable through the admin interface used by users with a custom Staff role, as the role is granted edit_tc_tickets_instances capability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 categorizes the flaw as moderate, with a focus on confidentiality impact. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that exploitation is currently unlikely, and the vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker can exploit it only after authenticating as a staff user with sufficient permissions, so the risk is confined to environments where such credentials are compromised or overly permissive.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Tickera to the latest available release that includes the SQL injection fix, as identified by the vendor. Since the CVE references versions up to 3.6.0.1, consult the vendor for specific patched versions.
  • Revoke the edit_tc_tickets_instances capability from staff users who do not need to edit ticket instances, thereby narrowing the attack surface.
  • Ensure any custom code or third‑party add‑ons that interact with Tickera sanitize the tc_event_filter parameter or employ prepared statements before executing database queries.
