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 · unedited
Hi.Events before 1.11.0 contains a missing server-side visibility enforcement vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to purchase hidden tickets by referencing hidden product and price IDs in order creation requests without authorization checks. Attackers can enumerate sequential hidden ticket IDs from visible ones and submit order creation requests referencing those IDs to purchase VIP, invite-only, or discounted tickets intentionally withheld from public sale.

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 confidence

Hi.Events before 1.11.0 lacks server-side authorization checks when creating orders, allowing unauthenticated attackers to purchase hidden tickets by directly referencing hidden product/price IDs in order creation API requests. Attackers can enumerate sequential ticket IDs to discover and purchase VIP, invite-only, or discounted tickets intentionally withheld from public sale.

MitigationImplement server-side authorization and visibility validation in the order creation endpoint to verify the requester is authorized to purchase a specific ticket and that the ticket is publicly visible before processing any order.

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. Identify Hi.Events installation and version
    Check the installed version of Hi.Events (e.g., check package.json, docker image tag, or application footer/admin panel for version number)
    Affected if The installed version is before 1.11.0
  2. Confirm order creation API endpoint is accessible
    Test if the order creation endpoint (typically POST /api/orders or /api/bookings) responds to unauthenticated requests
    Affected if The endpoint accepts requests without authentication tokens or session cookies
  3. Verify hidden ticket products exist
    Query the database or admin panel to list ticket products and check if any have visibility set to hidden, private, or unpublished
    Affected if Hidden or non-publicly-visible ticket products exist in the system
  4. Test direct ID access for hidden tickets
    Attempt to create an order by directly referencing a hidden ticket ID in API requests without prior enumeration
    Affected if Orders can be created using hidden ticket IDs without receiving authorization or visibility validation errors
  5. Check for sequential ID enumeration
    Submit multiple order creation requests with incrementally sequenced ticket IDs to discover hidden products
    Affected if Hidden tickets are discoverable through sequential ID probing

If Hi.Events before 1.11.0 is running and the order creation endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.

Interim mitigation

Implement server-side authorization and visibility validation in the order creation endpoint to verify the requester is authorized to purchase a specific ticket and that the ticket is publicly visible before processing any order.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Hi.Events version 1.11.0

  1. 1. Identify the current version of Hi.Events running in your environment
  2. 2. If the current version is before 1.11.0, plan an upgrade to version 1.11.0 or later
  3. 3. Before upgrading, review the release notes for version 1.11.0 to understand any changes
  4. 4. Perform the upgrade following the project's standard upgrade procedure
  5. 5. After upgrading, verify that hidden tickets cannot be purchased without proper authorization
