CVE-2026-101268: pretix account takeover via specially crafted link

CVE-2026-101268 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-29

An attacker can craft a malicious link that logs victims into the attacker's customer account on pretix, an event ticketing and management platform. If a victim clicks the link and doesn't notice they're logged into the wrong account, their order details and personal information could be captured by the attacker. This attack only works when the event is hosted on a different domain than the organizer's main page.

Technologies: Pretix. Vendors: Pretix.

Technical details

A session fixation or account confusion vulnerability in pretix allows an attacker to craft a link that causes cross-domain session confusion. When a victim visits the link, they are authenticated into the attacker's account instead of their own, enabling the attacker to capture sensitive order data and personal information. The vulnerability requires social engineering (victim must click the malicious link) and is only exploitable in cross-domain scenarios where events are hosted separately from the organizer page.
