Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of the VikRentCar WordPress plugin at versions 1.4.5 and earlier, per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. The only prerequisites are network reachability to a WordPress site that has the VikRentCar plugin installed and activated, and the ability to send HTTP requests that include a user-controlled object identifier (typically a numeric parameter in a plugin endpoint). Exploitation is limited to confidentiality impact (C:H/I:N/A:N), so an attacker can read other users' resources but cannot modify or destroy data through this flaw alone.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 7.5) indicates the flaw is remotely exploitable over the network with low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality impact only - consistent with an unauthenticated data-disclosure IDOR. EPSS data and CISA KEV status are not provided in the input, and no public exploit is identified at this time, so real-world exploitation pressure cannot be quantified from the available signals. However, IDOR flaws in WordPress plugins are historically trivial to weaponize once an endpoint is identified, and the Patchstack disclosure increases the likelihood of opportunistic mass-scanning against WordPress sites running this plugin; the absence of integrity or availability impact slightly limits blast radius but does not reduce urgency for sites handling personal or booking data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker browses a WordPress site running VikRentCar, identifies a request that references a booking, reservation, or customer record by a numeric ID, and then iterates or substitutes that ID to retrieve records belonging to other customers. Because no authentication is required and the attack complexity is low, the attacker can script enumeration of sequential IDs to bulk-harvest sensitive rental data such as customer names, contact details, or booking specifics.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026

Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object References in the VikRentCar WordPress plugin versions 1.4.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to access sensitive resources belonging to other users by manipulating predictable object identifiers. The flaw was disclosed via Patchstack and affects WordPress sites running the e4jvikwp VikRentCar booking plugin, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis but a high CVSS confidentiality impact reflecting potential exposure of booking, customer, or reservation data.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade the VikRentCar plugin to a version newer than 1.4.5 as published by e4jvikwp, consulting the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/vikrentcar/vulnerability/wordpress-vikrentcar-plugin-1-4-5-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability for the exact fixed release. If immediate patching is not feasible, deactivate the VikRentCar plugin entirely (which disables the rental booking functionality on the site), or place the WordPress site behind a WAF such as Patchstack, Wordfence, or Cloudflare with virtual-patching rules for this CVE - note that generic WAF rules may miss the specific vulnerable parameter and should be validated. As an additional compensating control, restrict access to the plugin's relevant endpoints via web-server-level access rules or IP allowlisting for administrative paths, accepting the trade-off that legitimate front-end booking functionality may be impaired.

Technical ContextAI · show details

VikRentCar is a WordPress plugin (vendor e4jvikwp) used for car rental booking management on WordPress sites, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:e4jvikwp:vikrentcar. The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), where the application exposes a reference to an internal object - typically a numeric ID passed in a request parameter - without verifying that the requester is authorized to access it. As a result, an attacker can substitute another user's identifier and retrieve resources that should be access-controlled, bypassing the plugin's intended authorization model.

Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) in VikRentCar <= 1.4.5 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The VikRentCar WordPress plugin (versions 1.4.5 and earlier) contains an unauthenticated insecure direct object reference vulnerability allowing remote attackers to access sensitive booking, customer, and reservation data without authentication or prior access. Organizations operating rental or booking platforms relying on this plugin face immediate risk of customer data breach and potential regulatory exposure. Affected installations require urgent remediation as no vendor patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable the plugin entirely if business continuity permits; (2) Implement Web Application Firewall rules to block requests containing manipulated object identifiers; (3) Restrict plugin functionality to authenticated users through WordPress capability controls; (4) Deploy comprehensive logging and alerting on all database access attempts related to the plugin; (5) Conduct immediate forensic audit of access logs to determine whether reservation or customer records were accessed by unauthorized actors.
