Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin before 2.4.6 does not verify that an authenticated employee (provider) is assigned to the appointment being accessed, allowing any employee to read any appointment by its identifier and disclose the booked customer's personal data.
AnalysisAI
Broken object-level authorization in the Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin (versions before 2.4.6) allows any authenticated employee or provider account to read appointment records they are not assigned to, exposing booked customers' personal data. The vulnerability is a classic IDOR (CWE-639): the plugin fetches appointment details by a caller-controlled identifier without verifying the requesting employee is the one assigned to that appointment. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and EPSS places this at the 3rd percentile, reflecting limited real-world exploitation pressure, though the PII disclosure impact is concrete.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-639 (Authorization Through User-Controlled Key), a form of Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) within a multi-role WordPress plugin that manages appointment booking. The plugin implements an employee/provider role distinct from administrators and customers. When an employee queries an appointment record using its identifier, the application retrieves and returns the record without confirming that the querying employee is the assigned provider for that appointment. Affected CPE: all releases of the 'Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar' WordPress plugin prior to version 2.4.6. The WordPress plugin ecosystem adds inherent surface area risk due to the wide variety of role and capability configurations across site deployments.
RemediationAI
Update the Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin to version 2.4.6 or later, which introduces proper authorization checks verifying that the requesting employee is assigned to the queried appointment. The patch is confirmed available per vendor advisory (reported via WPScan at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/30015f96-2771-493e-96d7-9067996e1531/). If immediate patching is not feasible, a compensating control is to audit and restrict employee account creation, ensuring only fully trusted internal staff hold the employee/provider role - this reduces the risk of a malicious employee exploiting the flaw, though it does not eliminate the vulnerability. Note that this workaround does not protect against a compromised employee account. No network-layer blocking is practical since the vulnerable endpoint serves legitimate booking functions.
