Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Booking and Rental Manager <= 2.7.1 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated broken access control in the Booking and Rental Manager WordPress plugin (versions <= 2.7.1) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to perform restricted actions, resulting in unauthorized integrity modifications to booking or rental data. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862), meaning any network-accessible request can bypass intended access controls without credentials. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects the limited impact scope - integrity only, no confidentiality or availability loss.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the Booking and Rental Manager plugin for WooCommerce, a WordPress e-commerce extension used to manage bookings and rentals. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: the plugin exposes one or more endpoints or AJAX actions without verifying that the requesting user has the authority to invoke them. WordPress plugins commonly register hooks via wp_ajax_nopriv_ (unauthenticated) or wp_ajax_ (authenticated) handlers; a missing capability check on a sensitive handler is the canonical realization of CWE-862 in this ecosystem. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the flaw is reachable over the network with no complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction - consistent with an exposed, unguarded REST or AJAX endpoint. The vulnerability was reported by Patchstack (audit@patchstack.com), a reputable WordPress-focused security research organization.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was confirmed in the available intelligence at time of analysis. Site operators should consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-booking-and-rental-manager-plugin-2-7-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability and monitor the WordPress plugin repository for a patched release above version 2.7.1. As a compensating control, administrators should consider disabling the plugin on publicly accessible sites until a patch is available, which eliminates the attack surface entirely at the cost of losing booking/rental functionality. Alternatively, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule restricting unauthenticated POST requests to the plugin's specific AJAX or REST endpoints can reduce exploitation risk, though the precise endpoint identifier is not confirmed in available data. Patchstack's virtual patching service (Patchstack Protect) may provide a temporary rule for subscribers.
