DescriptionCVE.org

Subscriber Privilege Escalation in Service Finder Booking <= 6.2 versions.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in the Service Finder Booking WordPress plugin (versions 6.2 and below) allows any authenticated subscriber-level user to elevate their privileges within the application, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw is network-exploitable with low complexity and requires only a valid subscriber account, making it accessible to any registered user on affected sites. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS 8.8 score reflects the high-impact potential once a low-privileged account is obtained.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is the 'Service Finder Booking' plugin by aonetheme (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:aonetheme:service_finder_booking:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) - a WordPress booking and service marketplace plugin. The root cause is classified as CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), meaning the plugin fails to enforce proper server-side authorization checks before granting elevated capabilities to subscriber-role users. In WordPress, subscribers are the lowest default role; they can read content but hold no administrative capabilities. A CWE-266 flaw in this context typically manifests as missing or bypassed capability checks in plugin AJAX handlers, REST API endpoints, or form-processing logic that allow subscribers to invoke privileged functions - such as modifying bookings, accessing other users' data, or escalating to administrator-level roles.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix availability and an exact patched version have not been independently confirmed from the data available at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sf-booking/vulnerability/wordpress-service-finder-booking-plugin-6-2-privilege-escalation-vulnerability) should be checked for the current patched release. Site administrators should update the Service Finder Booking plugin to any version confirmed by Patchstack or the plugin vendor as patched beyond 6.2. If an update is not immediately available, the most effective compensating control is to disable open user registration (WordPress Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to prevent untrusted parties from obtaining subscriber accounts. Additionally, review existing subscriber accounts for signs of unauthorized privilege changes. Consider placing the WordPress admin area behind IP allowlisting or additional authentication as a defense-in-depth measure. Disabling the plugin entirely until a patch is confirmed is the safest option for high-sensitivity deployments.
