WordPress · Event Manager/Tickets Selling For Woocommerce · CVE-2022-0478
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Event Manager and Tickets Selling for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.5.8
**Description**
The issue concerns a lack of validation and escaping for the `post author gutenberg` parameter in SQL statements when creating or editing events. This could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform SQL Injection attacks.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.5.8, update to version 3.5.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability to create or edit events to higher roles until the update can be applied.
