Technical details
A Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in the promo code validation logic of Hi.Events. When an order is reserved, the system checks the 'order_usage_count' against the 'max_allowed_usages'; however, the counter is only incremented asynchronously via the 'UpdateEventStatisticsJob' after an order is fully completed. Because the 'CompleteOrderHandler' does not re-validate the promo code eligibility, an attacker can sequentially create multiple reservations using the same code while the counter remains stale. This allows for unlimited redemptions of restricted codes without requiring high-concurrency exploitation. The vulnerability is present in versions up to and including 1.9.0.
