CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Eventin plugin for WordPress versions 4.0.26 to 4.1.15 is vulnerable to an authorization bypass, allowing unauthenticated attackers to mark unpaid ticket orders as completed by exploiting the payment_complete() function. This flaw enables attackers to gain unauthorized access to paid events, QR-code tickets, and confirmation emails without making actual payments, as the necessary nonce is publicly accessible on event pages. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and potential financial loss.
Original NVD Description
The Eventin – Event Calendar, Event Registration, Tickets & Booking (AI Powered) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a regression in versions from 4.0.26 up to and including 4.1.15. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the payment_complete() function of PaymentController.php. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to mark unpaid ticket orders as completed by submitting a fabricated SureCart checkout ID or FluentCart cart hash, granting themselves paid event access, QR-code attendee tickets, and order confirmation emails without making any real payment. The wp_rest nonce required to reach the vulnerable endpoint is embedded in every public event page, meaning no WordPress session or credentials are needed to obtain it. This vulnerability represents a regression — the same function and endpoint were previously patched but the fix did not persist through subsequent releases.
