Exploitation Conditions

The target WordPress installation must have the Booking and Rental Manager plugin by MagePeople Inc. installed, active, and running at version 2.7.5 or earlier - deactivated or uninstalled plugins are not exploitable. No authenticated session is required; the CVSS PR:N metric confirms unauthenticated exploitation is possible. No user interaction is needed (UI:N), and no special network position is required (AV:N), so any internet-reachable WordPress site qualifies. The impact is bounded to confidentiality (C:L) - attackers cannot write data or affect availability through this specific flaw (I:N/A:N). Exploitation is constrained to whichever specific plugin endpoints lack authorization checks; the full set of exposed endpoints is not enumerated in available intelligence.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects a Medium-severity, network-exploitable, zero-complexity unauthenticated read - low attack bar but constrained blast radius. No EPSS score was included in the provided intelligence, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified against the broader threat landscape. No CISA KEV listing exists, and no public exploit code has been identified, which are meaningful risk-dampening signals. The impact ceiling is limited confidentiality loss (C:L) with no integrity or availability dimension (I:N/A:N), meaning an attacker can exfiltrate only a subset of plugin-managed data and cannot modify records or disrupt service through this vector alone. The real-world priority depends heavily on the sensitivity of the booking data exposed - sites handling PII, payment metadata, or corporate scheduling data face greater business risk than the raw CVSS score implies. The combination of PR:N and AC:L does make this trivially automatable at scale via mass WordPress scanning, so organizations running WooCommerce booking infrastructure should not deprioritize it solely on the basis of the medium score.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the WordPress AJAX endpoint or a REST API route registered by the vulnerable plugin, omitting any session token or nonce. The missing authorization check allows the request to succeed, returning restricted booking or rental records in the response. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and absence of any authentication requirement (PR:N) mean that exploitation requires only knowledge of the vulnerable endpoint name, which could be discovered through plugin source code inspection.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 24, 2026

Broken access control in MagePeople Inc.'s Booking and Rental Manager WordPress plugin (all versions through 2.7.5) permits unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke restricted plugin functionality and read limited application data without any credentials. Rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), the flaw arises from absent capability checks on one or more plugin endpoints - a structural weakness common in WooCommerce extensions that register AJAX handlers or REST routes without verifying caller permissions. No active exploitation has been confirmed via CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to update the Booking and Rental Manager plugin to a version above 2.7.5; the exact patched release should be confirmed via the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-booking-and-rental-manager-plugin-2-7-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability, as no specific fix version was confirmed in the available intelligence. If an immediate plugin update is not operationally feasible, a short-term compensating control is to deactivate the plugin entirely, accepting the trade-off of disabling all booking and rental functionality for site visitors. Alternatively, a WAF or web server rule blocking unauthenticated POST requests to WordPress AJAX endpoints (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) or the relevant REST namespace may reduce exploitability, but risks breaking legitimate front-end booking flows and should be tested carefully. Patchstack's virtual patching feature, if the site is enrolled, may provide a temporary firewall-level mitigation without requiring code changes.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected software is MagePeople Inc.'s Booking and Rental Manager, a WooCommerce-integrated WordPress plugin for managing reservations and rentals, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:magepeople_inc.:booking_and_rental_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a failure to enforce access control checks before executing a sensitive operation - in the WordPress plugin context, this typically manifests as AJAX action handlers registered via wp_ajax_nopriv_ (which any visitor can trigger) or REST API endpoints that omit current_user_can() or equivalent nonce/capability verification. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms the vulnerable endpoint is reachable over the network with no authentication and no preconditions, consistent with a publicly-accessible AJAX or REST route missing its authorization gate.
