What the vulnerability does
The Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wp_ajax_change_ticket_status' AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.6.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update post/event statuses.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

An attacker with a low-privilege account can change settings or records belonging to other users or events. The vulnerability requires login but does not require user interaction beyond normal site usage.
What an attacker can do
Modify event or ticket data belonging to other users or events without proper authorization.
Potential impact on your site
Ticket or event data can be altered by unauthorized users, risking data integrity and customer trust.
Conditions required to exploit
