Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

A user who has API access and the "manage users" permission in any Venueless world can delete user accounts that belong to other worlds. This cross‑instance authorization bypass removes legitimate user data and can disrupt service availability for unaffected users. The weakness is a zero‑click, cross‑instance privilege escalation, identified as CWE‑653.

Affected Systems

All releases of the Venueless product from pretix are potentially affected, as no specific version ranges are provided. Existing installations should assume this vulnerability is present until a patch is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.3 indicates moderate to high severity. Exploit probability data is not published, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the known exploited vulnerabilities catalog. Because the attack requires only API access with the "manage users" permission, the risk of exploitation is significant. The likely attack vector is remote via the public API, and an attacker can directly delete accounts belonging to other instances.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Venueless update once available from pretix.
  • If a patch is not yet available, limit the "manage users" permission to trusted administrators only.
  • Monitor system logs for unauthorized deletion attempts and verify account integrity regularly.
  • Contact pretix Venueless support for guidance on additional mitigations.
