MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery 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 attacker to hold any authenticated WordPress account on the target site - specifically the low-privilege subscriber role is sufficient (PR:L), so the practical precondition is that the site allows self-service user registration or the attacker otherwise obtains a low-level credential. The exact vulnerable surface is the plugin's booking REST API routes, which fail to enforce the capability check that should gate access to customer booking records. Limiting factors: no exploitation is possible by a fully unauthenticated visitor, no admin privileges are needed, and the impact is read-only disclosure (no write or availability effect). Sites that disable open registration and have no untrusted low-privilege users substantially reduce exposure. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects the key limiting factor: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N - remotely reachable over the REST API with low attack complexity, but requiring an authenticated account (PR:L). Impact is confidentiality-only (C:L/I:N/A:N), consistent with CWE-200 information disclosure. EPSS is very low at 0.15% (4th percentile), indicating no statistical signal of mass exploitation, which aligns with the absence of a CISA KEV listing (KEV=NO). Counterbalancing this, publicly available exploit code exists (published by WPScan), which lowers the skill barrier and makes opportunistic abuse plausible on sites where low-privilege registration is open. The signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting: low EPSS + no KEV + Medium CVSS + PR:L all point to a real-but-bounded data-exposure flaw rather than a wormable or widely-weaponized vulnerability. The main risk amplifier not captured by the base score is that a single subscriber can enumerate EVERY customer's records, turning a 'Low' confidentiality rating into a potential bulk-PII breach on a vulnerable site. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | On a WordPress site running Salon Booking System before 10.31.3 that permits open user registration, an attacker registers a free subscriber-level account, then sends authenticated requests to the plugin's booking REST API routes. Because those routes lack a capability check, the attacker harvests the booking records and personal data of all customers. A public exploit from WPScan already documents the vulnerable endpoints, so no original research is needed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
The Salon Booking System WordPress plugin before 10.31.3 fails to enforce capability checks on several of its booking REST API routes, so any authenticated user - including a low-privilege subscriber - can retrieve the booking records and personal data of every customer on the site. The vulnerability is remotely reachable (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base score 4.3) but requires a valid account, meaning sites that allow self-service registration or that host untrusted low-privilege users are the realistic attack surface. Publicly available exploit code exists via the WPScan disclosure, though EPSS is low (0.15%, 4th percentile) and no active exploitation has been confirmed. This is a genuine but moderate-priority information disclosure issue rather than a top-tier emergency.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Salon Booking System plugin to version 10.31.3 or later, which adds the missing capability checks to the booking REST API routes; this is the primary and definitive fix and should be applied through the WordPress plugin updater or a fresh install of 10.31.3+. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls should target the precondition rather than the flaw: disable open user registration in WordPress settings (Settings > General > Membership) so an attacker cannot self-provision the subscriber account the exploit requires, and audit/remove untrusted subscriber-level accounts - the trade-off is loss of legitimate self-service signups. Sites that do not need front-end booking can deactivate the plugin entirely, which removes the vulnerable routes. A more surgical interim measure is to block or restrict access to the plugin's booking REST endpoints (for example via a WAF rule or a must-use plugin that rejects requests to the affected /wp-json/ routes for low-privilege users), but this must be scoped carefully to avoid breaking legitimate booking functionality for customers and staff. Consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/7253eae4-4759-4388-8120-500b9d7352c4/ for route specifics before writing such rules.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Salon Booking System plugin registers custom WordPress REST API endpoints under the /wp-json/ namespace to serve booking and customer data to its front-end and admin interfaces. Those routes are registered with insufficient permission enforcement - the equivalent of missing or overly permissive permission_callback checks - so the REST layer authenticates the request but never verifies that the caller holds the capability required to view other customers' bookings. This is a classic WordPress REST-API authorization gap rather than a memory-safety or injection flaw, mapped to CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). Because WordPress REST authentication is cookie- or application-password based, a subscriber-level session is enough to reach the endpoint: the request is authenticated, just not authorized for the data returned. The leaked content is booking records containing customer personal data (names, contact details, appointment history), and the impact is read-only - no write, integrity, or availability effect is present.
