Description
An insecure direct object reference vulnerability in Attendize through commit 9289acb allows any authenticated event organiser to inject attendees and orders into events belonging to other accounts via the postInviteAttendee endpoint. The endpoint loads the target event by ID without scoping the query to the authenticated organiser account. An attacker can modify event data and financial records across account boundaries.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Attendize is an insecure direct object reference that permits any authenticated event organizer to inject attendees and orders into events owned by other accounts through the postInviteAttendee API endpoint. By supplying an event identifier that does not belong to the organizer, the server substitutes the target event without performing an ownership check, enabling the attacker to alter event details and associated financial records. The impact of leveraging this flaw is the loss of data integrity and potential financial loss across account boundaries.

Affected Systems

This flaw affects all instances of the Attendize event management platform that have not applied the security fix contained in commit 9289acb. While specific version numbers are not listed, the vulnerability exists in every deployed release that loads the postInviteAttendee endpoint without verifying the authenticated user’s association with the target event. Organisations using the open‑source Attendize application should review their deployed code against the reference commit in the official GitHub repository.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 denotes a moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available, implying limited public exploitation data at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely weaponized. Nonetheless, an attacker who can authenticate as any event organizer can exploit the endpoint to manipulate event and financial data, which may lead to significant business disruption or monetary loss.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Attendize to a version that includes the patch introduced in commit 9289acb, which enforces ownership checks for the postInviteAttendee endpoint.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, modify the server-side code for the postInviteAttendee endpoint to validate that the supplied event ID belongs to the authenticated organizer before processing the request, thereby implementing the required access control (CWE-639).
  • Conduct a security audit of attendee and order logs to detect any unauthorized cross‑account activity and remediate anomalies promptly.
