CVSS v3.1 |
| Untrusted user data was passed verbatim to Excel exports for administrators. This allowed formula injection which can be used to compromise the environment of the user loading the file or other data in the file. |
| An unvalidated redirect was contained in Venueless' social login functionality and could be exploited for phishing using trusted domains. |
| When creating an export of all reusable media, the secrets of connected
gift cards were included in the export even if the user creating the
export does not have permission to view gift cards. This is inconsistent
with the UI and API where only the first letters of the gift card
secret are shown. Therefore, it allows circumventing a permission
boundary. |
| When creating an export through the pretix API, API clients are
returned an UUID value for their export job (a long, random string like
35742818-c375-4d15-839f-d49aecce94d6). Using this UUID, the API client
can then request the actual file for download. The same kind of UUID is
used in other places in pretix when temporary files are generated for
internal use or download.
One remaining API endpoint, however, wrongfully did not verify if the
UUID used for download actually belongs to a file that is supposed to
be downloadable and belongs to the correct user. In reality, this is
hard to exploit because an attacker would need to have access to a valid
UUID for the file they desire which is unlikely to happen without a
separate security problem giving them access to logs etc. |
| A new API endpoint introduced in pretix 2025 that is supposed to
return all check-in events of a specific event in fact returns all
check-in events belonging to the respective organizer. This allows an
API consumer to access information for all other events under the same
organizer, even those they should not have access to.
These records contain information on the time and result of every ticket scan as well as the ID of the matched ticket. Example:
{
"id": 123,
"successful": true,
"error_reason": null,
"error_explanation": null,
"position": 321,
"datetime": "2020-08-23T09:00:00+02:00",
"list": 456,
"created": "2020-08-23T09:00:00+02:00",
"auto_checked_in": false,
"gate": null,
"device": 1,
"device_id": 1,
"type": "entry"
}
An unauthorized user usually has no way to match these IDs (position) back to individual people. |
| Emails sent by pretix can utilize placeholders that will be filled with customer data. For example, when {name}
is used in an email template, it will be replaced with the buyer's
name for the final email. This mechanism contained two security-relevant
bugs:
*
It was possible to exfiltrate information about the pretix system through specially crafted placeholder names such as {{event.__init__.__code__.co_filename}}.
This way, an attacker with the ability to control email templates
(usually every user of the pretix backend) could retrieve sensitive
information from the system configuration, including even database
passwords or API keys. pretix does include mechanisms to prevent the usage of such
malicious placeholders, however due to a mistake in the code, they were
not fully effective for the email subject.
*
Placeholders in subjects and plain text bodies of emails were
wrongfully evaluated twice. Therefore, if the first evaluation of a
placeholder again contains a placeholder, this second placeholder was
rendered. This allows the rendering of placeholders controlled by the
ticket buyer, and therefore the exploitation of the first issue as a
ticket buyer. Luckily, the only buyer-controlled placeholder available
in pretix by default (that is not validated in a way that prevents the
issue) is {invoice_company}, which is very unusual (but not
impossible) to be contained in an email subject template. In addition
to broadening the attack surface of the first issue, this could
theoretically also leak information about an order to one of the
attendees within that order. However, we also consider this scenario
very unlikely under typical conditions.
Out of caution, we recommend that you rotate all passwords and API keys contained in your pretix.cfg https://docs.pretix.eu/self-hosting/config/ file. |

| An API endpoint allowed access to sensitive files from other users by knowing the UUID of the file that were not intended to be accessible by UUID only. |
| Multiple API endpoints allowed access to sensitive files from other users by knowing the UUID of the file that were not intended to be accessible by UUID only. |
| A user with API access and "manage users" permission in any venueless
world is able to trigger deletion of user accounts in other worlds. |
| A user with permission "update world" in any Venueless world is able to exfiltrate chat messages from direct messages or channels in other worlds on the same server due to a bug in the reporting feature.
The exploitability is limited by the fact that the attacker needs to know the internal channel UUID of the chat channel, which is unlikely to be obtained by an outside attacker, especially for direct messages. |
| Emails sent by pretix can utilize placeholders that will be filled with customer data. For example, when {name} is used in an email template, it will be replaced with the buyer's name for the final email. If the name of the attendee contained HTML or Markdown formatting, this was rendered as HTML in the resulting email. This way, a user could inject links or other formatted text through a maliciously formatted name. Since pretix applies a strict allow list approach to allowed HTML tags, this could not be abused for XSS or similarly dangerous attack chains. However, it can be used to manipulate emails in a way that makes user-provided content appear in a trustworthy and credible way, which can be abused for phishing. |
| pretix before 2024.1.1 mishandles file validation. |
| Stored XSS in organizer and event settings of pretix up to 2024.7.0 allows malicious event organizers to inject HTML tags into e-mail previews on settings page. The default Content Security Policy of pretix prevents execution of attacker-provided scripts, making exploitation unlikely. However, combined with a CSP bypass (which is not currently known) the vulnerability could be used to impersonate other organizers or staff users. |
