Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in aonetheme Service Finder Booking allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects Service Finder Booking: from n/a through 6.0.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Service Finder Booking plugin for WordPress allows unauthenticated attackers to gain full administrative control. This vulnerability, affecting all versions up to 6.0, arises from incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266) and carries a CVSS score of 9.8, though EPSS indicates a low exploitation probability (0.08%) with no public exploit or active exploitation known.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the Service Finder Booking WordPress plugin (slug: sf-booking), a third-party tool for booking services, and stems from incorrect assignment of user privileges (CWE-266). The plugin apparently fails to properly validate or restrict role assignments, enabling escalation from an unauthenticated or low-privileged state to a higher-privileged role such as administrator. This class of flaw is common in plugins that manage user roles externally to WordPress’s native capability system, often through custom logic that can be bypassed via crafted requests.
RemediationAI
Immediately disable or uninstall the Service Finder Booking plugin if not essential. If the plugin must remain active, consult the Patchstack advisory for an available patched version; as of this analysis, the advisory likely contains a fix version, but the exact patched release is not independently confirmed. In the absence of a verified patch, restrict access to the wp-admin area and monitor for suspicious privilege changes. A web application firewall may filter suspicious requests targeting the plugin’s endpoints, but no specific signature is publicly documented.
