Tickera WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.6.0.0. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 's' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with custom-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries. This exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information in the database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for authenticated attackers to perform SQL injection, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, an authenticated user with custom-level access or higher can send a request to the WordPress site with the 's' parameter. The injected SQL code can then be executed in the context of the database query, allowing the attacker to access or modify sensitive information.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Tickera WordPress plugin to version 3.6.0.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
