LOW CVE-2026-42689 Deferred

Events Manager: Unauthenticated race condition

Concurrent requests can exploit improper synchronization of a shared resource and leave an unauthorized integrity change. The CNA vector requires no authentication or victim interaction, but high attack complexity, consistent with a timing-dependent attack. The export does not identify the endpoint, shared resource, timing window or resulting change. It does not establish a booking, payment or privilege-escalation chain. Affected versions: <= 7.4.7.
