Description
The WP Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'check_in_date' and 'check_out_date' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Impact

The WP Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress contains a reflected cross‑site scripting flaw in the publicly accessible 'check_in_date' and 'check_out_date' parameters. Unauthenticated attackers can craft a URL that injects arbitrary client‑side script into the page response. If a victim clicks the link, the script executes in their browser, allowing the attacker to steal cookies, hijack sessions, deface content, or carry out other client‑side attacks. The weakness originates from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, which is a classic example of a Cross‑Site Scripting vulnerability (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that have the ThimPress WP Hotel Booking plugin installed at version 2.3.1 or earlier are affected. Based on the description, it is inferred that this plugin is used on a variety of hotel‑booking sites, meaning that many visitors across multiple sites could potentially encounter the vulnerable parameters.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests that exploitation is currently unlikely but not impossible. Because the flaw is reflected and requires no authentication, the attacker only needs to lure a target into opening a crafted link, making the attack vector low effort. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating there are no known widespread exploits at this time.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP Hotel Booking to the latest release (≥ 2.3.2) where the input checks have been fixed
  • If an upgrade is not possible, implement server‑side validation to allow only properly formatted date strings for 'check_in_date' and 'check_out_date' and escape any output
  • Add an XSS protection layer by configuring a strong Content‑Security‑Policy header to limit script execution
