MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a WordPress site running the codepeople WP Time Slots Booking Form plugin at version 1.2.46 or earlier with the booking form exposed on a public page, and per the CVSS vector requires victim user interaction (UI:R) such as clicking an attacker-crafted link or visiting a page containing injected content. No authentication is required of the attacker (PR:N), the attack is delivered over the network (AV:N) at low complexity (AC:L), and impact is constrained by the victim's privileges in the WordPress origin - highest impact occurs when an administrator or editor is the one tricked into triggering the payload. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L scores 7.1 (High) primarily because of the scope change (S:C) - injected script runs against the WordPress origin including potentially logged-in administrator sessions - but exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R), which lowers practical risk versus a no-interaction RCE. There is no KEV listing, no public EPSS score provided in the input, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is a real but not emergency-priority issue: highest risk is to sites whose admins or editors view attacker-controlled booking content. No EPSS or POC data is available in the provided intelligence, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be confirmed or ruled out from this dataset alone. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker crafts a URL or booking-form submission containing a malicious JavaScript payload targeting the vulnerable plugin parameter and lures a site administrator or visitor to click the link or view the affected page. When the victim's browser renders the response, the script executes in the WordPress site origin and can steal session cookies, perform actions as the logged-in user, or pivot to admin takeover; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026
Reflected/stored cross-site scripting in the WP Time Slots Booking Form WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.2.46) lets remote unauthenticated attackers inject script that executes in a victim's browser after user interaction. The flaw, reported by Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2026-36994, carries a CVSS 7.1 due to the scope change against the WordPress origin, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data, so administrators should upgrade WP Time Slots Booking Form to the latest version newer than 1.2.46 as published by codepeople and tracked at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-time-slots-booking-form/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-time-slots-booking-form-plugin-1-2-46-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability. As compensating controls until the plugin is updated, deactivate the WP Time Slots Booking Form plugin on production sites (side effect: booking functionality is unavailable), restrict access to pages embedding the booking form via authentication or IP allowlist where feasible, and enable a WAF rule or Patchstack mitigation that blocks script tags and common XSS payloads in plugin request parameters (side effect: may produce false positives against legitimate form content containing HTML).

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerable component is the codepeople 'WP Time Slots Booking Form' plugin for WordPress (CPE cpe:2.3:a:codepeople:wp_time_slots_booking_form), which provides time-slot reservation forms on WordPress sites. The weakness is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), meaning user-supplied input handled by the plugin's booking or form-rendering logic is reflected or stored without proper output encoding or input sanitization, allowing HTML/JavaScript injection in the context of the WordPress site origin.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in WP Time Slots Booking Form <= 1.2.46 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The WP Time Slots Booking Form WordPress plugin (versions ≤1.2.46) contains an unauthenticated cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2026-40791, CVSS 7.1) allowing remote attackers to inject malicious scripts executed in user browsers upon interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; however, the plugin's accessibility to unauthenticated users creates substantial risk of session hijacking, credential theft, and malware distribution affecting customers and employees. Immediate mitigation is critical pending patch availability.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Immediately disable or remove affected plugin versions from production; (2) If removal is operationally infeasible, implement WAF rules to block script injection patterns on plugin endpoints; (3) Deploy strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers with script-src restrictions; (4) Restrict plugin form access to authenticated users only where possible; (5) Enable comprehensive WordPress security logging and intrusion detection for exploitation attempts; (6) Identify and stage alternative, actively maintained booking solutions for rapid switchover.
