DescriptionCVE.org

The Booking calendar, Appointment Booking System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.36. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary reservations as paid or completed, cancel legitimate payments, auto-approve reservations, and trigger transactional booking emails by writing attacker-supplied payment status and transaction data directly into the payments table. The auto-approval of reservations is only triggered when the 'enable_psuccess_approval' site option is enabled, but payment status manipulation and email dispatch are exploitable regardless of that setting.

AnalysisAI

Authorization bypass in the wpdevart Booking Calendar, Appointment Booking System plugin for WordPress (all versions through 3.2.36) permits unauthenticated remote attackers to write attacker-controlled payment status and transaction data directly into the plugin's payments database table, bypassing any payment gateway verification. This enables fraudulent marking of reservations as paid or completed, cancellation of legitimate customer payments, and dispatch of transactional booking confirmation emails to arbitrary parties. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No authentication is required - the CVSS vector confirms PR:N. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N yields a base score of 5.3 (Medium), which accurately captures the low attack complexity and unauthenticated network accessibility but arguably underweights the business impact: fraudulent 'paid' status markings can cause an operator to render services without receiving payment, while cancellation of legitimate transactions directly disrupts revenue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker identifies a WordPress site running the Booking Calendar plugin by detecting the wpdevart plugin signature in page source or HTTP responses. The attacker then sends a crafted unauthenticated HTTP POST request targeting the payment status handler, supplying a forged transaction ID and a 'paid' or 'completed' status for a target reservation ID obtained by enumerating booking confirmation pages. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been identified at time of analysis - the highest tagged release documented in the references is 3.2.36, which remains vulnerable. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
