Description
The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wpbc shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 10.11.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Booking Calendar WordPress plugin contains an insufficiently sanitized attribute handler for its wpbc shortcode, allowing authenticated contributors and higher roles to store arbitrary JavaScript within page content. When a user later accesses the affected page, the injected script executes in the visitor’s browser under the context of the website, enabling attacks such as cookie theft, credential hijacking, or defacement. This vulnerability directly compromises the confidentiality and integrity of user data and may facilitate further malicious activity on the site.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation running the Booking Calendar plugin version 10.11.1 or earlier is vulnerable. The affected product is supplied by wpdevelop and is the Booking Calendar WordPress plugin.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a medium severity vulnerability, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that, as of the latest data, exploitation is relatively unlikely. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that the attacker possess at least contributor‑level access to the WordPress site, making the threat primarily internal or on a compromised user account. Once activated, the stored script can affect any user who visits the injected page, creating a widespread impact within the affected site.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Booking Calendar plugin to a version newer than 10.11.1 that removes the unescaped attribute handling
  • Restrict or remove contributor‑level roles on the WordPress installation to limit the pool of users who can inject content
  • Sanitize or delete any existing shortcode instances that contain potentially malicious attributes to eliminate the stored payloads
