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 | The TrueBooker plugin must be installed and activated on the WordPress site. The vulnerability is triggered when unauthenticated attackers send requests to the plugin's REST API endpoints or AJAX handlers that perform booking modifications. No special WordPress configuration, plugin settings, or user interaction is required; the broken access control affects the default plugin behavior. |
| Impact | The CVSS 5.3 (Network, Low Complexity, No Privileges Required, No User Interaction) indicates a straightforward network attack with low bar to exploitation. However, the EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) dramatically downrates real-world risk, suggesting minimal observed exploitation activity despite public disclosure. This is typical of plugin-specific vulnerabilities with narrower attack surface than OS or browser flaws. The Integrity impact (I:L) confirms attackers can modify booking data, which-while serious for business continuity-does not constitute RCE or full system compromise. The lack of Confidentiality or Availability impact limits blast radius. No KEV status or active exploitation confirmations provided. Real-world risk depends on: (1) whether plugins auto-update in target environments, (2) whether booking data modification triggers fraud/reputation harm, and (3) whether API endpoints are exposed to untrusted networks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker discovers the TrueBooker plugin is active on a WordPress site by enumerating the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or analyzing HTTP responses. The attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to the plugin's REST API or AJAX endpoint that modifies booking records (creating fake appointments, canceling legitimate bookings, or changing booking status) without providing valid authentication credentials. Since the plugin fails to validate authorization, the request succeeds, allowing the attacker to disrupt the booking system or trigger downstream fraud. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 15, 2026
TrueBooker appointment booking plugin through version 1.1.5 fails to enforce proper authorization controls, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to modify sensitive data via incorrectly configured access control mechanisms. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score (5.3) reflecting limited direct impact, but represents a critical authentication bypass in a widely deployed WordPress plugin affecting booking system integrity.
RemediationAI
Update TrueBooker to the patched version released after 1.1.5 as indicated by the vendor advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/truebooker-appointment-booking/vulnerability/wordpress-truebooker-plugin-1-1-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. If immediate patching is not feasible, disable the TrueBooker plugin until the update is available, or restrict REST API and AJAX endpoints to authenticated users via Web Application Firewall rules. Review server access logs for suspicious requests to booking endpoints prior to patch deployment to identify potential exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TrueBooker is a WordPress appointment booking plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:themetechmount:truebooker:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that manages booking appointments and related booking data. The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), indicating the application performs actions or grants access without properly verifying user permissions. WordPress plugins typically handle authorization through capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) in REST API endpoints or admin AJAX handlers. In this case, access control validation appears to be bypassed or misconfigured entirely, allowing unauthenticated users to perform operations restricted to authenticated administrators or specific user roles.
