Description
An insecure direct object reference vulnerability in Attendize through commit 9289acb allows any authenticated event organiser to inject attendees and orders into events belonging to other accounts via the postInviteAttendee endpoint. The endpoint loads the target event by ID without scoping the query to the authenticated organiser account. An attacker can modify event data and financial records across account boundaries.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-72546 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-72546 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-72546. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
