MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid authenticated account at subscriber level or above (PR:L) on a WordPress site running WP Booking System - Booking Calendar <= 2.1.0.3; exploitation is performed by supplying a chosen value to the 'id' parameter of the plugin's calendar AJAX action, which fails to enforce an authorization/capability check. No user interaction, no admin privileges, and no non-default plugin configuration are required. The principal limiting factor is the authentication requirement: sites that do not permit untrusted self-registration and have no low-privilege users are largely insulated, since an attacker must first obtain a subscriber account. Impact is limited to disclosure of booking descriptions and booking IDs - there is no write, modify, or service-disruption capability. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but mid-tier priority, not a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.5) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity information-disclosure flaw (CWE-862, Missing Authorization) requiring only subscriber-level authentication and no user interaction. The impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N) - no code execution, data tampering, or availability loss. No EPSS score was provided, there is no CISA KEV listing (not actively exploited), and no public exploit/POC is referenced, so the signals are consistent: a straightforward-to-abuse but non-destructive bug with no evidence of in-the-wild use. The main risk driver is the low barrier (any registered subscriber on sites that allow open registration) rather than exploitation momentum. Real-world severity hinges on whether affected sites allow self-registration and on the sensitivity of the booking descriptions exposed; against sites with no untrusted accounts the practical risk drops considerably. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers (or already holds) a low-privilege subscriber account on a WordPress site running WP Booking System 2.1.0.3 or earlier, then issues the plugin's calendar AJAX request while manipulating the 'id' parameter. Because the endpoint lacks a proper authorization/capability check, the server returns private per-event booking descriptions and booking IDs from any calendar on the site, letting the attacker harvest booking data they should never see. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is network-based with low complexity and no user interaction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 17, 2026
Low-privilege information disclosure in the WP Booking System - Booking Calendar WordPress plugin through version 2.1.0.3, where the calendar AJAX handler fails to enforce a capability check on the 'id' parameter. Any authenticated user at subscriber level or above (PR:L, network-reachable, no user interaction) can pull private per-event booking descriptions and booking IDs from calendars they do not own. Assessed CVSS 6.5 reflects high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation, and the practical risk is bounded by the need for a valid subscriber account - sites that disable open registration and have no untrusted low-privilege users are largely insulated.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch status: no independently confirmed fixed version is stated in the provided data, but the plugin's trunk changeset 3750120 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3750120/wp-booking-system/trunk/includes/base/admin/calendar/functions-actions-ajax-calendar.php) shows the AJAX calendar handler being modified after the 2.1.0.3 affected range, so upgrade to the newest plugin release beyond 2.1.0.3 as soon as it is available from the WordPress plugin repository and verify the 'id' handler now performs a capability/ownership check. Where immediate upgrade is not possible, the highest-value compensating control is removing the account prerequisite: disable open self-registration and audit existing subscriber-level accounts, which eliminates the PR:L entry point (trade-off: may break membership or customer-portal workflows that depend on public signup). Also restrict who may hold low-privilege accounts and review site logs for subscriber sessions enumerating calendar 'id' values via admin-ajax.php; note that generic WAF rules are of limited value here because the requests are authenticated and appear as legitimate plugin traffic. Apply the same upgrade to any staging or multisite copies of the plugin, and treat booking descriptions as potentially disclosed data when assessing notification obligations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the plugin's admin-side calendar AJAX code, specifically the handlers in includes/base/admin/calendar/functions-actions-ajax-calendar.php and the output logic in class-calendar-editor-outputter.php, which return calendar/event data keyed by a client-supplied 'id' value. Because the handler lacks a current_user_can()/capability and ownership check before returning data, a subscriber-level request reaches per-event booking descriptions and booking IDs belonging to arbitrary calendars on the site. The vulnerability is WordPress-plugin-specific and requires only a valid account on the target blog; it is not a pre-authentication flaw, involves no server-side code execution or state change, and only exposes data returned by those registered AJAX actions. The WordPress ecosystem context matters here: self-registration or membership plugins can silently supply the subscriber account the attack requires, which turns what looks like an administrative-only defect into a remote, low-privilege disclosure path.

DescriptionNVD
The WP Booking System - Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0.3 via the 'id' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract private per-event booking descriptions and booking IDs from any calendar managed by the site.

Attack Technique
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
