DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in ameliabooking Amelia ameliabooking allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Amelia: from n/a through <= 1.2.38.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A privilege escalation vulnerability in Amelia booking plugin (versions up to 1.2.38) allows unauthorized users to gain elevated system access, potentially compromising customer data and booking integrity. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of unauthorized administrative access without a vendor patch currently available.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules targeting privilege escalation patterns in Amelia requests; restrict plugin access to trusted IP ranges only; disable unnecessary user roles and capabilities within the plugin; apply strict role-based access controls (RBAC) to limit exposure; monitor for abnormal administrative account activity; isolate affected systems from sensitive backend infrastructure; consider temporarily disabling the booking functionality until patch availability.
