The data on the boarding passes are coded according to a specific IATA standard. In this process, certain data in the raw text is stored in a QR code, e.h. John Doe with Bookingref XYZ123.
M1DOE/JOHN EXYZ123 HAM 192F010F0001 100

Prename
This information is then encoded in a QR code so that it can be read by machine by the inspection bodies. There are two standards "aztec" (2D QR code) or PDF417 (1D code known by many airlines). The raw text can now be manipulated to encode other information.
That's why it's so important to never show your board card on social media. There is a lot of personal information on it.
