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. |
| Impact | While a CVSS score and EPSS probability are not available, the real-world risk is moderate to high given the vulnerability class and scope. Missing authorization (CWE-862) in WooCommerce booking systems typically allows attackers with low or no privileges to modify bookings, view sensitive rental information, or manipulate payment data—constituting a technical impact of high confidentiality and integrity loss. The WordPress plugin ecosystem exhibits frequent exploitation of access control flaws due to widespread deployment and lower average security maturity compared to standalone applications. However, without confirmation of active exploitation (KEV status) or public proof-of-concept code, this is not an immediate critical threat; organizations running the affected plugin versions should prioritize patching, but this does not warrant emergency incident response. The missing CVSS/EPSS data suggests the vulnerability may be relatively recent or still under embargo. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker or low-privilege user (such as a customer or guest) submits a direct HTTP request to the plugin's booking management endpoint, exploiting the missing authorization check. Because the endpoint does not verify user capabilities before processing the request, the attacker can view, modify, or cancel bookings belonging to other users, access rental contract details, or manipulate pricing information. If the plugin also exposes REST API endpoints without proper authorization, attackers can perform these actions programmatically at scale without leaving obvious traces in the WordPress admin interface. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 25, 2026
The Booking and Rental Manager plugin for WordPress through version 2.6.0 contains an authorization bypass that allows authenticated attackers to modify data they should not have access to. An attacker with low-privilege user credentials can exploit inadequately enforced access controls to perform unauthorized actions. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A missing authorization vulnerability exists in the magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager plugin for WooCommerce (versions up to 2.6.0) that allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The vulnerability, classified as a broken access control issue (CWE-862), enables unauthorized users to bypass authentication mechanisms and perform actions they should not be permitted to execute within the booking and rental management system. No CVSS score, EPSS data, or active exploitation indicators (KEV status) are currently available, though the vulnerability was reported by Patchstack and assigned EUVD ID EUVD-2026-15545.
RemediationAI
Update the Booking and Rental Manager plugin to a version beyond 2.6.0 immediately; the vendor should release a patched version addressing the access control deficiency. Until an update is available, restrict access to the plugin's administrative functions and booking management endpoints to trusted IP addresses via Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules or server-level restrictions, disable public-facing REST API endpoints if not explicitly required, and audit user role assignments to ensure only authorized administrators possess capability to modify booking records. Monitor booking logs for suspicious activity indicating unauthorized access. Verify that all access control checks use proper WordPress capability functions (current_user_can(), user_can()) on both the backend and any API endpoints. Consult the vendor advisory at the Patchstack reference link for patch availability and specific upgrade instructions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from inadequate authorization checks in the Booking and Rental Manager WordPress plugin (identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:magepeopleteam:booking_and_rental_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which extends WooCommerce functionality to manage booking and rental transactions. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates that the application fails to properly enforce access control policies when processing user requests, allowing attackers to perform privileged operations without proper role-based or capability-based authorization verification. This is a common pattern in WordPress plugins where capability checks via functions like current_user_can() are either absent or improperly implemented, particularly affecting REST API endpoints or form handlers that interact with booking data and rental management workflows.
