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 | Exploitation requires only a network-reachable WordPress site running the Amelia (ameliabooking) plugin at version 2.4.10 or earlier; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are needed, so default installations are affected. The description attributes the flaw to 'Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels,' meaning a plugin feature/endpoint enforces insufficient authorization checks. The practical LIMIT on impact is scope: the CVSS shows only limited integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, so an attacker can perform or tamper with a restricted plugin action but cannot read protected data or take the site down through this flaw alone. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Amelia WordPress booking plugin, reported by Patchstack. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue requiring no authentication and no user interaction, which normally elevates priority - however, the impact is deliberately scoped low: C:N/I:L/A:N means no confidentiality or availability impact and only limited integrity impact, consistent with an unauthorized actor being able to invoke a restricted action or modify limited data rather than achieve full compromise. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept was referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The combination of easy reachability but low technical impact makes this a routine 'patch in normal cycle' item rather than an emergency: realistically exploitable but limited in damage. Note that EPSS, SSVC, and KEV data were absent from the input and could not be weighed; the only intelligence source is the single Patchstack advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to an Amelia plugin endpoint (e.g. an AJAX or REST action) that fails to verify the caller's authorization level, allowing them to perform or alter a booking-related operation they should not be permitted to. No proof-of-concept was referenced, and the CVSS low attack complexity (AC:L) and no-interaction requirement mean the request can be replayed reliably against any affected site without special timing or configuration. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
Missing authorization in the Amelia WordPress booking plugin (TMS Amelia) through version 2.4.10 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to tamper with restricted plugin actions due to insufficient access control checks. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3, CWE-862) carries only limited integrity impact (I:L) with no effect on confidentiality or availability, and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis. Affected are WordPress sites running the plugin at version 2.4.10 or earlier; the issue requires no authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration per the CVSS vector.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; monitor the Patchstack advisory for an update and apply it as soon as a fixed version is released. As a compensating control, restrict access to Amelia plugin endpoints-particularly any unauthenticated AJAX or REST API routes that handle booking modifications-using a web application firewall (WAF) or server-level rules requiring authentication, but verify that legitimate customer-facing booking flows are not broken. If booking functionality is not essential, consider temporarily disabling the plugin until a fix is available, accepting the trade-off of lost booking capability. Review user roles and capabilities to ensure only trusted users have administrative access to the plugin's settings.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Amelia plugin is a widely used WordPress appointment and booking management system. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates that certain plugin endpoints or functions fail to verify that the requesting user has the required permissions before performing an action. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) confirms the flaw is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, meaning default installations are vulnerable. The limited integrity impact (I:L) suggests an attacker can modify or trigger a restricted operation-such as altering booking data or plugin settings-but cannot read protected information or disrupt availability. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:tms:amelia:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions up to and including 2.4.10 are affected.
