MITRE ATT&CK
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. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account on the target site at low privilege level (PR:L) - on WordPress this typically means any self-registered user such as a subscriber. The missing authorization check in BookIt (CWE-862) lets such a user invoke plugin functionality without the required capability check; the exact vulnerable endpoint and trigger are not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: an attacker must already hold (or be able to register) a low-privilege account, the impact is confined to integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, and only BookIt versions up to and including 2.6.0.6 are affected. No fixed version is explicitly stated in the available data; verify the patched release with Patchstack/StellarWP. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 4.3) broken-access-control issue, and the signals consistently point to real-but-not-urgent priority rather than an emergency. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that requires an authenticated low-privilege account and yields only limited integrity impact (I:L), with no confidentiality or availability consequences. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV (no confirmed active exploitation), and the single reference is the Patchstack advisory rather than working exploit code, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month,' which aligns with a patch-on-normal-cadence posture rather than act_now/emergency. The one cross-signal tension worth noting: the input Tags label this 'Authentication Bypass,' but the CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) classification plus PR:L indicate an AUTHORIZATION flaw exploitable by an already-authenticated user, not a true pre-auth authentication bypass - this distinction materially lowers real-world risk and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user with a low-privilege account on a WordPress site running the BookIt plugin (≤2.6.0.6) sends a request to a plugin endpoint that fails to enforce a proper capability/authorization check, allowing the user to perform or alter booking-related actions they should not be permitted to. Because only integrity is affected (I:L) and no confidentiality or availability impact applies, the realistic outcome is unauthorized modification of booking data rather than data theft or site takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the only reference is the Patchstack advisory. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Missing authorization in StellarWP BookIt through version 2.6.0.6 allows an authenticated low-privilege user, such as a self-registered subscriber, to invoke plugin functionality without the required capability check, producing limited integrity impact (CVSS 4.3). It affects WordPress sites running BookIt up to and including 2.6.0.6, requires a valid low-privilege account, and has no confidentiality or availability impact; no CISA KEV entry or public exploit was identified at time of analysis. A fixed version is not explicitly stated in the available sources, so the patched release should be confirmed with Patchstack/StellarWP.
RemediationAI
A fixed version is not explicitly stated in the available data; confirm the patched BookIt release with Patchstack/StellarWP and update to that version when confirmed (advisory: https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/bookit/vulnerability/wordpress-bookit-plugin-2-6-0-6-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve). If an update cannot be applied immediately, deactivate the BookIt plugin, with the trade-off that booking functionality becomes unavailable, or restrict creation of low-privilege/self-registered accounts and review subscriber-level capabilities, with the trade-off that legitimate customer registration or site workflows may be disrupted.

Technical ContextAI · show details
BookIt is a WordPress booking plugin maintained under Liquid Web/StellarWP. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) is a broken access control class in which a function or endpoint fails to verify that the caller possesses the capability required for the action; here the CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, a low-privileged authenticated account, no user interaction, and only limited integrity impact. On WordPress, that prerequisite typically corresponds to any self-registered user such as a subscriber, but the exact vulnerable endpoint and trigger are not described in the available sources. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:liquid_web_/_stellarwp:bookit:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is a wildcard, while the textual affected range is from n/a through 2.6.0.6.
