Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at minimum the Contributor role (CVSS PR:L confirmed). The Booking and Rental Manager plugin must be installed and active on a WooCommerce-enabled WordPress site. Full arbitrary code execution further depends on the presence of a usable POP chain within the PHP class library loaded at runtime - this is common but not universal in WooCommerce deployments. Exploitation is limited by the contributor role requirement: anonymous or subscriber-level users cannot exploit this vulnerability. Non-WordPress installations are not affected. No evidence of special plugin configuration being required is present in the available data.

Impact

The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a high-severity, network-accessible flaw requiring only contributor-level WordPress authentication. The PR:L requirement is the primary risk-reduction factor: in most WordPress deployments the contributor role is restricted to known users, meaningfully narrowing the attacker surface compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities. Full RCE impact is conditional on the presence of a usable POP chain in the installed PHP class library - in a lean WordPress install this might not exist, but in a typical WooCommerce deployment the probability is high. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified precisely. The absence of CISA KEV listing and confirmed public exploit code suggests opportunistic mass exploitation has not yet begun, but the low attack complexity and network accessibility make this a priority for any site where contributors are not fully trusted users. No data conflicts are present, though the fixed version is not specified in available intelligence.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds a contributor account on the target WordPress site - obtained through registration, credential stuffing, or social engineering - crafts a serialized PHP object payload designed to trigger a POP chain available in the WooCommerce or plugin class scope. The payload is submitted through a booking-related form or AJAX endpoint handled by the vulnerable plugin without input validation, and PHP's unserialize() processes it server-side, invoking magic methods that ultimately execute arbitrary OS commands or exfiltrate the WordPress database. No public exploit code has been confirmed, but the technique is well-documented for PHP Object Injection in WordPress plugins.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 27, 2026

PHP Object Injection in the Booking and Rental Manager WordPress plugin (by magepeopleteam, versions <= 2.7.5) allows an authenticated contributor-level user to pass malicious serialized payloads through unsanitized input handled by the plugin. If a PHP Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present in the WordPress environment - commonly supplied by WooCommerce or co-installed plugins - exploitation can yield full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the underlying server. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE has not been added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

RemediationAI

Update the Booking and Rental Manager plugin to a version released after 2.7.5; the exact patched release should be confirmed via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-booking-and-rental-manager-plugin-2-7-5-php-object-injection-vulnerability) or the WordPress plugin repository, as no specific fixed version number was included in the available intelligence data. If an immediate update is not possible, restrict contributor role assignment to fully trusted internal users, since contributor access is the minimum privilege required for exploitation. Deploying a Web Application Firewall rule that blocks serialized PHP payloads (strings containing 'O:' object notation or base64-encoded equivalents) in plugin-handled POST parameters can reduce exposure with low operational risk. Additionally, auditing co-installed plugins and libraries for known POP chain classes (e.g., Monolog, Guzzle, PHPMailer) limits the blast radius even if a deserialization sink is triggered. Note that restricting contributor accounts has no side effect on editor, author, or administrator workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data), a root-cause class in which attacker-controlled data is passed to PHP's native unserialize() function without sanitization or allowlist enforcement. PHP Object Injection occurs when the deserialized object graph triggers magic methods (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString, etc.) on classes already loaded in the PHP runtime. The affected product is cpe:2.3:a:magepeopleteam:booking_and_rental_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, a WooCommerce extension that manages property or vehicle bookings and rental workflows. Because WordPress sites typically load dozens of plugins into the same PHP process, POP chain candidates from WooCommerce core, other plugins, or popular libraries (e.g., Monolog, Guzzle) are often reachable, amplifying the real-world impact of any deserialization sink.

DescriptionCVE.org

Contributor PHP Object Injection in Booking and Rental Manager <= 2.7.5 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Booking and Rental Manager WordPress plugin (versions ≤2.7.5) contains an object injection flaw allowing authenticated contributors to execute arbitrary code and fully compromise affected WordPress servers when co-installed plugins provide gadget chains. Organizations using this plugin face risk of data breach, service disruption, and loss of operational control through compromise of contributor-level user accounts.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: enforce strict principle of least privilege by restricting contributor role to only essential personnel, disable the plugin if non-essential to business operations, implement WAF rules to block malicious PHP serialized payloads, enforce multi-factor authentication for all WordPress accounts, monitor and log all contributor-initiated actions on booking/rental data, and perform regular audits of user account modifications and permissions.
