Subscriber Broken Access Control in Service Finder Booking <= 6.2 versions.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in the Service Finder Booking WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 6.2) allows authenticated subscribers to trigger high-availability-impact actions they should not be authorized to perform. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to verify that the requesting user has sufficient privileges before executing sensitive operations. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity and network accessibility make it straightforward to trigger once a subscriber account is obtained.
Technical ContextAI
The affected product is the Service Finder Booking plugin for WordPress, developed by aonetheme (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:aonetheme:service_finder_booking:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a commercial plugin designed for service marketplace and appointment booking functionality. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): one or more plugin endpoints or AJAX handlers execute privileged operations without verifying the requesting user's role or capability beyond basic authentication. In WordPress, the subscriber role is the lowest authenticated role and should have no administrative capabilities. The CVSS availability impact of High with no confidentiality or integrity impact suggests the exploitable action involves disrupting plugin functionality - such as canceling bookings, deleting listings, or corrupting service data - rather than exfiltrating or modifying records directly.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update the Service Finder Booking plugin beyond version 6.2 once the vendor releases a patched build; check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sf-booking/vulnerability/wordpress-service-finder-booking-plugin-6-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability for a confirmed fix version, as no exact patch version was present in the available intelligence. If an update is not immediately available, disable open user registration to eliminate the subscriber attack surface (WordPress Admin > Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') - note this blocks legitimate new user signups. Alternatively, deploy a WAF rule (such as Patchstack's virtual patch, if available as a subscriber) to block unauthorized requests to the vulnerable endpoint. Site owners using managed WordPress hosts should verify whether their platform has applied automatic plugin updates or mitigation.
