CVE-2024-12578
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Tickera – WordPress Event Ticketing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.4.8 via the 'tickera_tickets_info' endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data from bookings like full names, email addresses, check-in/out timestamps and more.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Tickera WordPress plugin versions up to 3.5.4.8 exposes a sensitive API endpoint (tickera_tickets_info) without authentication, allowing any unauthenticated user to retrieve booking information including customer names, email addresses, and check-in/out timestamps.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Tickera plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Tickera' in the list, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the tickera folderAffected if Tickera plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Check Tickera version numberIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > Tickera, or inspect the main plugin file (e.g., /wp-content/plugins/tickera/tickera.php) to find the 'Version' header commentAffected if The installed version is 3.5.4.8 or lower (any version up to and including 3.5.4.8)
-
Test unauthenticated access to the API endpointUsing a web browser or curl command, visit the URL pattern: yourdomain.com/?tickera_action=ticket_info (or similar tickera_tickets_info endpoint) without logging inAffected if The endpoint returns HTTP 200 and displays booking data (customer names, emails, check-in/out times) without requiring login credentials
The environment is affected if the Tickera plugin version is 3.5.4.8 or lower AND the tickera_tickets_info endpoint is accessible without authentication, allowing exposure of customer booking data.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the plugin to a patched version once available, or implement authentication and authorization controls on the tickera_tickets_info endpoint to prevent unauthenticated access to booking data.
3.5.4.9 or later
- Update the Tickera – WordPress Event Ticketing plugin to the latest available version (3.5.4.9 or higher) via WordPress admin Dashboard > Plugins > Updates, or manually download from wordpress.org
- After updating, verify the 'tickera_tickets_info' endpoint no longer exposes sensitive booking data without authentication
- If immediate upgrade is not possible, consider restricting access to the /tickera_tickets_info/ endpoint via web server configuration (e.g., .htaccess rules to block unauthenticated access to that path)
