| Exploitation Conditions | Authentication requirement: The attacker must have valid WordPress user credentials at Subscriber level or higher. A Subscriber account can be created via open registration (if enabled on the target site) or obtained through credential compromise. No special plugin configuration is required - the vulnerability exists in all versions up to 1.2.63 by default. The vulnerable dex_bccf_admin_int_calendar_list.inc.php file must be accessible (standard WordPress plugin file structure). The attacker must know or guess a target calendar ID, though sequential or brute-force enumeration is feasible. No user interaction is required beyond the attacker's own account actions. |
| Impact | The risk profile is moderate but conflicted. CVSS 5.3 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N suggests a readily exploitable network vulnerability, but this conflicts with the description stating attackers need Subscriber-level access (PR:N in vector typically means unauthenticated). The CVSS vector likely represents the requirement to reach the vulnerable endpoint (network-accessible) with low attack complexity, while the PR:N may be a classification artifact. The realistic attack requires: (1) a valid WordPress user account at minimum Subscriber level, (2) knowledge or enumeration of target calendar IDs, and (3) access to an active WordPress installation. This significantly narrows the threat landscape compared to unauthenticated exploitation. No EPSS score, KEV status, or POC availability was provided, so active exploitation cannot be confirmed. However, IDOR vulnerabilities are trivial to exploit once discovered and often automated by attackers. The integrity impact (I:L) and confidentiality exposure to user data make this a legitimate priority for WordPress administrators with multi-user environments, but organizations with single-admin or tightly controlled user bases face lower real-world risk. The lack of confirmed patches in available data adds urgency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker creates a low-privileged WordPress Subscriber account or gains credentials for an existing Subscriber. They enumerate calendar IDs by accessing their own calendar or attempting sequential numeric IDs. Using the dex_bccf_admin_int_calendar_list.inc.php endpoint, they submit requests with calendar IDs belonging to other users. The plugin fails to validate ownership and returns or allows modification of the target calendar, exposing booking data, contact information, and associated user profiles of the calendar's legitimate owner. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 24, 2026
Insecure Direct Object Reference in Booking Calendar Contact Form plugin for WordPress (all versions up to 1.2.63) allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges to hijack other users' calendars and access associated user data by exploiting missing validation on user-controlled keys in the dex_bccf_admin_int_calendar_list.inc.php file. The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects network-accessible exploitation without user interaction, though the vulnerability requires valid WordPress authentication at Subscriber level or higher.
RemediationAI
Update the Booking Calendar Contact Form plugin to a patched version released after 1.2.63. Consult the plugin's official WordPress repository page and the Wordfence threat intelligence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a3977d10-239d-4b83-ab0c-ad165485498d) for the specific fix version. If no patch is available, implement compensating controls: (1) restrict WordPress user registrations to trusted administrators only, ensuring only known admins can create accounts that might be exploited - this trades functionality for access control but is critical in multi-tenant scenarios; (2) use WordPress security plugins to monitor and log all calendar access events across the dex_bccf admin functions and alert on unusual cross-user access patterns; (3) implement database-level auditing to track who accesses which calendar IDs via this plugin's functions; (4) if the plugin is not actively used, disable or uninstall it entirely. These controls reduce exposure but do not eliminate the vulnerability, so patch deployment remains the primary remediation path.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) flaw rooted in CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key). The vulnerable code in dex_bccf_admin_int_calendar_list.inc.php fails to validate that an authenticated user has permission to access a calendar object identified by a user-controlled parameter (likely a calendar ID). The plugin accepts this parameter without checking if the requesting user owns or has rights to that calendar, allowing any authenticated user to directly reference and manipulate calendars belonging to other users. This is a common PHP/WordPress plugin vulnerability pattern where object ownership is assumed rather than enforced. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:codepeople:booking_calendar_contact_form, indicating the vulnerable component is the plugin itself developed by CodePeople.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Booking Calendar Contact Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.63 via the dex_bccf_admin_int_calendar_list.inc.php file due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to takeover other user's calendars and view user data associated with the calendar.
