Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only network reachability to a WordPress site running the Salon Booking System plugin at version 10.30.26 or earlier, with the plugin's vulnerable endpoint active (the default state once the plugin is installed and booking is enabled). Per the CVSS vector PR:N and UI:N, no authentication and no user interaction are needed. The primary limiting factor is that the target site must actually have this specific plugin installed and enabled at a vulnerable version; the exact triggering feature/endpoint is not detailed in the available data, and the practical impact may be scoped to information disclosure per the Patchstack tag rather than full site compromise, so verify the concrete affected function against the vendor advisory.

Impact

The signals are largely aligned toward high priority in principle but incomplete in practice. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with high impact across all three security properties, which is the classic 9.8 profile. However, no EPSS score was provided, the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public POC is referenced - so there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation at this time. There is also a mild tension in the data: the CVSS claims C:H/I:H/A:H (full compromise) while the Patchstack tag scopes the practical impact as 'Information Disclosure', suggesting the real-world outcome may be closer to unauthorized data access than full site takeover - verify the concrete impact against the Patchstack advisory before treating this as a full-compromise RCE-equivalent. Net: credible high-severity issue warranting prompt patching for any site running the plugin, but current real-world exploitation risk is unquantified due to missing EPSS and absent KEV/POC evidence.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker with no account sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a Salon Booking System endpoint that fails to properly verify identity, causing the plugin to treat the request as an authorized user and return or modify booking/customer data. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, this requires only network access to the WordPress site with no authentication and no victim interaction. No public POC is currently referenced, so exploitation would require the attacker to derive the specific vulnerable request.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026

Authentication bypass in the Salon Booking System WordPress plugin (versions 10.30.26 and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to defeat the plugin's identity/verification logic (CWE-288) and gain access to protected functionality or data without valid credentials. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) reflects network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; Patchstack tags it as Information Disclosure. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; the input only confirms that versions up to and including 10.30.26 are affected, so administrators should upgrade to the latest Salon Booking System release available on WordPress.org that is newer than 10.30.26 and confirm it addresses this issue via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/salon-booking-system/vulnerability/wordpress-salon-booking-system-plugin-10-30-26-broken-authentication-vulnerability). Until a confirmed fixed version is applied, compensating controls include placing the affected booking endpoints behind a WordPress-aware WAF or virtual patch (Patchstack offers one for this CVE), restricting or rate-limiting access to the plugin's admin-ajax.php actions and REST routes, and temporarily deactivating the plugin if the booking functionality is not business-critical - noting that deactivation disables all appointment booking on the site. If a Patchstack vPatch is enabled, verify legitimate booking flows still function after applying it.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is Salon Booking System, a WordPress plugin (vendor Dimitri Grassi, per CPE cpe:2.3:a:dimitri_grassi:salon_booking_system) used to manage appointment/reservation bookings on WordPress sites. The root cause is CWE-288, Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel, meaning the plugin exposes a code path - typically a REST/AJAX endpoint, booking action, or customer-account handler - that performs a sensitive operation while relying on a flawed or missing authentication check. Because WordPress plugins register their own endpoints (admin-ajax.php actions, REST routes, or nonce-gated handlers), a broken-authentication flaw of this class usually stems from an endpoint that trusts a client-supplied identifier or skips a capability/ownership check that should have restricted the action to the authenticated account.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Salon Booking System WordPress plugin (version 10.30.26 and earlier) contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access protected booking data and customer information without credentials. Any WordPress site running this plugin faces immediate risk of customer data exposure and operational disruption, with no vendor patch currently available. Organizations must act now to contain exposure while awaiting a security update.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable plugin if operationally feasible; restrict unauthenticated access via Web Application Firewall rules and network IP whitelisting; implement rate limiting to slow exploitation attempts; configure comprehensive logging and real-time alerting for unauthorized booking data access; evaluate migration to actively-maintained alternative booking solutions; establish direct vendor contact to track patch development timeline.
