Order-data disclosure via hardcoded QR hash
Published May 4, 2026 · Updated May 4, 2026
Authentication bypass in Easy PayPal Events & Tickets before 1.4 allows remote attackers to disclose order data via crafted QR requests. The QR scanner accepts the literal hash value 'test' as equivalent to the computed order hash and exposes add_wpeevent_button_qr without authentication. A known or guessed post ID is required; successful requests reveal PayPal transaction IDs, customer emails, purchase amounts, and ticket details.
