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 | No authentication is required - the CVSS vector PR:N confirms unauthenticated access. The attacker needs network access to the target WordPress site's AJAX endpoint (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php), which is standard and publicly accessible on all WordPress installations. The plugin must be installed and active. The attacker must supply a valid booking identifier, which may require enumeration or prior access to a booking confirmation. No special platform, configuration flag, or user interaction is required. Exploitation is limited to integrity tampering of booking financial totals; there is no code execution, data exfiltration, or availability impact. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects the network-accessible, unauthenticated, zero-interaction nature of the flaw (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) but correctly caps impact at I:L given the constrained scope - only booking totals are writable, not arbitrary data or system files. EPSS of 0.14% at the 3rd percentile is notably low despite a public PoC, indicating the security community has not observed widespread scanning or exploitation patterns targeting this plugin. This is not listed in CISA KEV, so confirmed active exploitation is absent. In practice, this vulnerability is real and trivially exploitable (PoC is public, no complexity required), but its real-world business impact is limited to price-tampering within a niche salon-management plugin rather than data exfiltration or system compromise. Organizations running salon booking sites with this plugin should treat it as a meaningful integrity risk - particularly where bookings translate directly to revenue - while recognizing it does not present the lateral-movement or data-breach risk of higher-impact classes. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker visits a WordPress salon booking site, identifies a target booking ID through enumeration or prior knowledge (e.g., from a legitimate booking confirmation), and sends a crafted unauthenticated AJAX POST request to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php specifying the target booking and a modified total amount. A publicly available PoC from WPScan details the exact action name and parameters. The booking record is updated server-side with the attacker-supplied total, potentially allowing the attacker to pay a reduced price for services. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026
Unauthenticated price manipulation in the Salon Booking System WordPress plugin (through 10.30.33) allows any remote visitor to tamper with the stored total of arbitrary bookings by invoking unprotected booking-modification AJAX endpoints. The plugin neither restricts access to these actions nor verifies that the requesting user owns the targeted booking, creating a CWE-862 missing-authorization flaw. No public exploitation in CISA KEV has been confirmed, though a publicly available proof-of-concept exists via WPScan, and EPSS sits at just 0.14% (3rd percentile), suggesting opportunistic rather than widespread active exploitation.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update the Salon Booking System plugin beyond version 10.30.33; however, no specific patched release version is independently confirmed from the available data - consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/fbbfa907-3efd-4050-9651-d3836af062a9/ and the WordPress plugin repository for the latest release. If an update is not immediately possible, a compensating control is to restrict access to WordPress AJAX endpoints (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) at the web-server or WAF layer for unauthenticated requests, though this may break legitimate front-end booking functionality and requires testing. Alternatively, deploying a WordPress security plugin capable of blocking unauthenticated AJAX requests to non-whitelisted actions can reduce the attack surface while a patch is evaluated. Monitor booking totals for unexpected modifications as a detective control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Salon Booking System is a WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:salon_booking_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that manages salon appointments and payments. WordPress exposes plugin functionality through AJAX hooks registered via wp_ajax_nopriv_ (publicly accessible without login) or wp_ajax_ (login required). The root cause - CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) - arises when the plugin registers booking-modification AJAX actions on the nopriv hook (or equivalent), then performs no server-side ownership check to confirm the requesting user controls the targeted booking. This means any caller who knows or can enumerate a booking identifier can issue modification requests. The affected scope is integrity of pricing/booking data rather than confidentiality or system availability.
