What is CVE-2026-32834?

The Easy PayPal Events & Tickets plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms through the QR code scanning feature. By exploiting this flaw, unauthenticated remote attackers can utilize the 'test' value as a hash parameter to gain unauthorized access to sensitive order information. This includes retrieving PayPal transaction IDs, customer email addresses, purchase amounts, and ticket details associated with known or easily guessed post IDs. Consequently, this vulnerability poses a significant risk as attackers can exploit the add_wpeevent_button_qr action to access data intended for legitimate users. The plugin has been officially closed as of March 18, 2026.
