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, no special privileges, and no user interaction are required - fully consistent with the CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector. The sole prerequisite is that the target WordPress site has the Hydra Booking plugin installed, activated, and running version 1.2.2 or earlier; no non-default configuration is necessary. Exploitation is limited in scope by the unchanged scope (S:U): impact is confined to the booking plugin's data and registered actions and does not inherently grant broader WordPress administrative access, database root privileges, or server-level code execution. The primary limiting factor is the bounded impact - an attacker gains leverage over booking records, not the underlying system. |
| Impact | The CVSS score of 7.3 (High) is primarily driven by the network-accessible, zero-prerequisite attack path (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), though the Low ratings across all three impact dimensions (C:L/I:L/A:L) signal that a successful exploit yields bounded harm - unauthorized access to booking records rather than full site or server compromise. EPSS data is absent from available intelligence, so a numerical exploitation probability cannot be cited; however, the trivially low attack complexity means automated WordPress scanning tools could reliably trigger this flaw across many sites simultaneously, raising portfolio risk for managed hosting providers or large plugin estates. No CISA KEV listing exists and no public exploit code has been identified, which reduces immediacy compared to actively exploited issues - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in inowroclaw should treat this as urgent given the entirely unauthenticated network vector, while recognizing the impact ceiling is constrained to booking data. The greatest realistic risk is unauthorized manipulation or exfiltration of appointee information rather than privilege escalation or remote code execution. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Hydra Booking ≤ 1.2.2 - discoverable via plugin fingerprinting or mass scanning - and sends crafted HTTP POST requests to the plugin's unprotected AJAX or REST endpoints without any session or credential. Because the authorization check is absent, the server processes the request as if it were a legitimate privileged action, allowing the attacker to enumerate, exfiltrate, or tamper with booking records. No public exploit code has been identified, but the AC:L/PR:N profile means this is replicable with basic HTTP tooling and minimal WordPress knowledge. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026
Unauthenticated broken access control in the Hydra Booking WordPress plugin by Themefic (versions ≤ 1.2.2) permits any remote, unauthenticated party to bypass authorization checks and interact with restricted plugin functionality. The CWE-862 root cause - missing authorization - means protected endpoints can be triggered by anonymous HTTP requests, enabling unauthorized reading, modification, or disruption of booking data. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been confirmed at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update the Hydra Booking plugin to the latest available version beyond 1.2.2 - check the official WordPress plugin repository and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/hydra-booking/vulnerability/wordpress-hydra-booking-plugin-1-2-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the confirmed fix version, as no exact patched release number is present in current data. No exact fix version is independently confirmed from available intelligence, so verify directly with Themefic before upgrading to ensure the target version contains the authorization fix. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, temporarily deactivating the Hydra Booking plugin removes the attack surface entirely at the cost of all booking functionality. As a partial compensating control, a web application firewall rule targeting the plugin's specific AJAX action names or REST API route prefixes may reduce exposure, though effectiveness depends on which endpoints are vulnerable and may break legitimate booking workflows - test in staging before deploying.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Hydra Booking is a WordPress appointment and scheduling plugin developed by Themefic, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:themefic:hydra_booking:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a root cause where the application registers actions or routes - typically WordPress AJAX handlers or REST API endpoints - without enforcing capability checks such as current_user_can() before executing sensitive operations. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the flaw is reachable over the network with no prerequisites, while S:U (Unchanged scope) indicates impact is contained within the plugin's own booking data and does not inherently propagate to the broader WordPress core or host operating system.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Hydra Booking <= 1.2.2 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Hydra Booking WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.2.2) contains an unauthenticated access control vulnerability that exposes booking data to unauthorized modification, deletion, or disclosure by any remote attacker. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of booking system compromise, customer data exposure, and operational disruption. No vendor patch is currently available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Implement Web Application Firewall rules to restrict booking endpoint access to administrative IP addresses only; (2) Disable the plugin if not actively required; (3) Layer additional authentication enforcement at the reverse proxy or load balancer level for all booking operations; (4) Enable comprehensive audit logging and real-time monitoring of booking data access and modifications for anomaly detection.
