Exploitation Conditions

Exploitable against WordPress sites running the Online Booking & Scheduling Calendar for WordPress by vcita plugin (slug meeting-scheduler-by-vcita) at version 4.6.0 or earlier. Per the CVSS vector the attack is remote and requires no authentication, no privileges, and no user interaction (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), so no special account or configuration is needed beyond having the vulnerable plugin installed and active. The practical limiter is that the advisory does not name the affected endpoint or action, so the exact request needed is not yet public; impact is confined to integrity (data/settings modification) with no stated confidentiality or availability effect.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes an attractive profile - remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction - with a single high impact on integrity (C:N/I:H/A:N), consistent with CWE-862 Missing Authorization where an attacker reaches a protected function that mutates state without any confidentiality or availability effect. That yields the reported 7.5 base score, which is accurate for the vector given. However, the real-world priority signals are weaker than the base score suggests: there is no EPSS probability, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept in the provided data, and Patchstack's advisory is the sole source with only a brief description and no named endpoint or exploitation detail. No SSVC decision-framework data was supplied. The score therefore rests almost entirely on the CVSS integrity assumption; if the affected action is low-value (e.g., non-sensitive booking metadata) the practical impact is lower than 'I:H' implies. Net: a credible but unverified unauthenticated write flaw that merits patching, not an active-exploitation emergency - treat as medium priority pending confirmation of the specific vulnerable function.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request directly to a plugin action or REST/AJAX endpoint that lacks a capability/authorization check, allowing them to create, alter, or delete booking data or plugin configuration without logging in. No proof-of-concept is public and no active exploitation is reported; the low attack complexity (AC:L) means that once the endpoint is identified, exploitation is straightforward and repeatable.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026

Unauthenticated broken access control in the Online Booking & Scheduling Calendar for WordPress by vcita plugin (slug meeting-scheduler-by-vcita) through version 4.6.0 lets remote attackers reach protected plugin functionality without logging in and use it to modify data or settings, with the assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) showing no privileges or user interaction required. Impact is limited to integrity (C:N/I:H/A:N) - booking, scheduler, or configuration data can be altered, while confidentiality and availability are not reported as affected. No CISA KEV entry is present and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the advisory does not disclose the specific endpoint or action, which currently raises the effort of exploitation even though the vulnerability is remotely reachable.

RemediationAI

No fixed version is stated in the provided data, so treat the affected range of 4.6.0 and below as vulnerable and check the Patchstack advisory for the Online Booking & Scheduling Calendar for WordPress by vcita (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/meeting-scheduler-by-vcita/vulnerability/wordpress-online-booking-scheduling-calendar-for-wordpress-by-vcita-plugin-4-6-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability) to confirm the first patched release and update the plugin in wp-admin or via WP-CLI as soon as that version is identified; vendor-released patch version is not independently confirmed in the supplied data. If the update cannot be applied immediately, deactivate the plugin on any site that does not actively need booking functionality - the trade-off being loss of scheduling forms - or, where it must stay enabled, restrict write access to the plugin's front-end and admin-ajax/REST endpoints at the WAF or reverse-proxy layer (blocking or rate-limiting unauthenticated POST requests targeting the vcita scheduler routes) and audit booking and settings records for unexpected changes; note that broad blocking of admin-ajax.php will break other plugins that depend on it, so scope rules to the vcita-specific actions and paths. Site operators should also review bookings and plugin settings for unauthorized modifications, since no confidentiality or availability effect was assessed and the exploit surface is integrity-only.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress plugin, the vcita Online Booking & Scheduling Calendar (CPE cpe:2.3:a:vcita:online_booking_&_scheduling_calendar_for_wordpress_by_vcita, version wildcard), which exposes scheduling and booking functions to site visitors through WordPress's AJAX (admin-ajax.php), REST API, or front-end form handlers. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes the root cause class: a state-changing function is reachable by an unauthenticated request because the handler performs no capability check - typically a missing current_user_can() test or a permissive permission_callback on a registered route - so the authorization decision is effectively absent rather than wrong. Reported by Patchstack and tracked as ENISA EUVD-2026-85488, the issue aligns with the assessed CVSS:3.1:AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N vector, meaning the flaw is network reachable, low complexity, needs no account or user interaction, and manifests purely as unauthorized modification of plugin-managed data. Because the vulnerability is a missing check rather than a memory-safety or injection flaw, exploitation success depends only on the vulnerable plugin being installed and active at version 4.6.0 or earlier.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The vcita Online Booking & Scheduling Calendar plugin for WordPress (slug meeting-scheduler-by-vcita), versions through 4.6.0, contains an unauthenticated broken access control flaw that allows anyone on the internet to reach protected plugin functions and alter booking, scheduler, or configuration data, and no vendor patch is currently available. Any organization hosting an internet-facing WordPress site with this plugin - including customer-facing booking, appointment, and calendar workflows - is exposed to data tampering that could distort scheduling records, misdirect appointments, and erode customer trust. Because exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction, and no public exploit has been identified at the time of analysis, the immediate leadership priority is inventorying and containing affected sites before attacker tooling matures or a fix is published.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include deactivating or removing the meeting-scheduler-by-vcita plugin on affected sites, applying WAF/reverse-proxy virtual patching to block unauthenticated access to plugin endpoints, IP allowlisting or rate limiting for booking functionality, database and log monitoring for unauthorized data changes, and restoring from verified backups if tampering is detected.
