The plugin fails to properly validate anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on sensitive actions, allowing authenticated attackers to trick site administrators or users into performing unintended operations such as modifying event settings, creating/deleting tickets, or altering purchase configurations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm plugin installation
    Check if 'Mage People Event Manager And Tickets Selling Plugin For Woocommerce' is installed in WordPress via wp-admin/plugins.php or by searching for the plugin folder in /wp-content/plugins/
    Affected if Plugin is present on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed version
    Look up the plugin version in the plugin header (plugin main file) or in WordPress admin plugin list under the 'Version' column
    Affected if Version number is 3.7.7 or lower
  3. Verify vulnerable functionality exists
    Check if the plugin admin panel (wp-admin/admin.php?page=mage-event-manager) or frontend event/ticket AJAX endpoints are accessible and active
    Affected if Plugin functionality for event settings, ticket management, or purchase configurations is enabled and accessible
  4. Confirm nonce validation is missing
    Review plugin PHP files for missing wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, or wp_nonce_field calls on state-changing actions (event creation, ticket deletion, settings updates)
    Affected if Sensitive admin or AJAX actions lack proper nonce verification code

If the plugin is installed with version 3.7.7 or lower and has active event/ticket management functionality, the site is vulnerable to CSRF attacks.
