DescriptionCVE.org

The TrueBooker - Appointment Booking and Scheduler System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key leading to Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.6. This is due to the admin_user_create_cus AJAX handler lacking any authentication or capability check before passing the attacker-supplied truebooker_wp_user_id parameter directly to wp_update_user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the email address of any WordPress user - including an administrator - and then complete the standard WordPress lost-password flow to fully take over the targeted account.

AnalysisAI

Account takeover in the TrueBooker Appointment Booking and Scheduler System plugin for WordPress (all versions through 1.2.6) lets unauthenticated remote attackers hijack any account, including administrators. The admin_user_create_cus AJAX action performs no authentication or capability check and feeds the attacker-controlled truebooker_wp_user_id parameter straight into wp_update_user, allowing an attacker to overwrite a target user's email and then seize the account via the standard WordPress lost-password reset. …
