Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 May 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 13 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity. No vendor advisory or patch links are provided in the input data.

Description

CVE-2024-6711 is a low-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WordPress plugin Event Tickets with Ticket Scanner versions before 2.3.8. The flaw arises because some parameters are not properly sanitized and escaped, allowing users with admin-level roles to inject malicious scripts. This vulnerability requires user interaction and privileges equivalent to an administrator. No public exploits or active exploitation are known, and no official patch information is provided in the input data.

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an administrator user to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected site, potentially leading to limited disclosure or modification of information accessible to that user. The impact is limited by the requirement that the attacker already has administrator privileges and user interaction is necessary. There is no indication of availability impact or exploitation in the wild.

Summary

The Event Tickets with Ticket Scanner WordPress plugin before version 2.3.8 contains a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of certain parameters. This flaw allows users with administrator privileges to execute reflected XSS attacks, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.5, indicating low severity, with attack vector network, low attack complexity, high privileges required, and user interaction needed.
