Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-52427 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in the Vollstart Event Tickets with Ticket Scanner WordPress plugin that permits server-side include injection. The flaw affects all versions through 2.3.11 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.9, reflecting network-accessible code injection with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability under changed scope.
An authenticated attacker with low privileges can supply a crafted serialized payload to the affected plugin, resulting in remote code execution on the server. The associated CWEs (CWE-82 and CWE-94) confirm the path from unsafe deserialization to arbitrary code or script injection without requiring user interaction.
The single reference from Patchstack characterizes the issue as a remote code execution vulnerability in the plugin but supplies no explicit patch or mitigation details beyond the version bound. The EPSS score has remained essentially flat near 0.12 since disclosure, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
