CVE-2024-9575Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via crafted block file inclusion

Published Oct 9, 2024 · Updated Jan 9, 2025

Local file inclusion in pretix GmbH pretix widget 1.0.0 through 1.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to include PHP files on Windows. Rendering a crafted invalid block state supplies PHP inclusion with a traversal path that is not confined to the plugin's intended files. The attacker needs permission to edit pages or posts; the vendor reproduced traversal only on Windows and identifies application privilege escalation as the consequence.
