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 the Magepeople 'Bus Ticket Booking with Seat Reservation' plugin (version n/a through 5.9.7) to be installed and active on a WordPress site, and the attacker must reach the specific plugin endpoint/action that lacks a proper capability or authorization check. The CVSS vector indicates no special configuration and no user interaction; however, the exact vulnerable function, required privilege level, and whether any authenticated session is needed are not detailed in the provided description and should be confirmed from the Patchstack advisory. Impact is limited to partial integrity and availability (no confidentiality loss), which constrains realistic damage to manipulation or disruption of booking/reservation data rather than full site compromise. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Magepeople 'Bus Ticket Booking with Seat Reservation' WordPress plugin. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, but limited impact (C:N/I:L/A:L - no confidentiality loss, partial integrity and availability impact). No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation - exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The PR:N rating conflicts with the typical nature of broken-access-control bugs in WordPress plugins, which usually require at least a low-privilege authenticated session (e.g., subscriber); the Patchstack-assigned vector claims unauthenticated access, but the one-line description does not confirm whether any authentication is needed - this discrepancy should be verified against the Patchstack advisory. Overall this reads as a real but moderate-priority issue: a genuine access-control weakness with partial integrity/availability impact, not a critical widely-weaponized vulnerability, and tempered by the plugin's niche deployment footprint. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends crafted requests directly to a plugin action or endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization, performing booking-management operations (e.g., modifying or canceling reservations/seat data) they should not be permitted to invoke. Per the CVSS vector this requires no user interaction and low attack complexity; the vector asserts no privileges, though broken-access-control flaws of this type often require a low-privilege account. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Missing authorization checks (CWE-862) in the Magepeople Inc. 'Bus Ticket Booking with Seat Reservation' WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 5.9.7, let a request reach plugin endpoints that were never gated behind a proper capability or permission check, allowing manipulation or disruption of booking and reservation data. The issue is rated medium severity at CVSS 6.5, with the CVSS impact limited to partial integrity and availability and no confidentiality loss, so realistic damage is tampering with or denial of booking/reservation functionality rather than full site takeover. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV entry were identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released fixed version is identified in the supplied data; exposure requires the plugin to be installed and active on a WordPress site.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the supplied data; the Patchstack advisory should be checked for an updated fixed version before upgrading, and administrators should treat any release above 5.9.7 as unverified until the vendor confirms the fix. Until a patch is available, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate the 'Bus Ticket Booking with Seat Reservation' plugin if its booking functionality is not actively needed, accepting the obvious trade-off that booking and reservation features go offline. Where the plugin must stay live, restrict access to its endpoints: block external direct requests to its admin-ajax.php actions and REST routes (for example via a WAF rule scoped to the plugin's action names), noting that overly broad rules can break the legitimate booking flow; remove or downgrade unused WordPress accounts and review role assignments so that only trusted users can reach the plugin's administrative operations, given the possibility that a low-privileged authenticated session is sufficient; and monitor booking, reservation and plugin-settings records for unexpected changes, since the assessed impact is integrity and availability rather than data disclosure. Taking the plugin's public-facing booking pages behind authentication or temporarily disabling online reservations are additional options, each at the cost of customer convenience.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a classic WordPress plugin broken-access-control flaw in the CWE-862 'Missing Authorization' class. The affected component is the Magepeople Inc. WordPress plugin 'Bus Ticket Booking with Seat Reservation' (CPE cpe:2.3:a:magepeople_inc.:bus_ticket_booking_with_seat_reservation:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, all versions through 5.9.7). Plugins of this type register handlers such as admin-ajax.php actions, admin-post handlers or WP REST API routes to service booking operations; CWE-862 occurs when those handlers execute state-changing logic without validating the caller's capability (for example current_user_can) or a valid nonce, so any request that reaches the action is processed as though it were authorized. The CVSS vector shows network reachability, low attack complexity and no user interaction, with impact confined to integrity and availability (C:N/I:L/A:L) and scope unchanged, meaning the flaw stays within the plugin's own security authority and does not by itself grant site-wide code execution or data disclosure. Note a scoring discrepancy in the source data: the published vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L (suggesting unauthenticated exploitation) while the independent assessment records CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L (suggesting an authenticated or low-privileged caller); the exact vulnerable function, required privilege level and whether a session is required are not detailed in the provided description and should be confirmed from the Patchstack advisory.
