Description
The TrueBooker – Appointment Booking and Scheduler System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to account takeover via improper password reset validation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity before resetting their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary user accounts, including administrators, and gain access to those accounts.

AI Analysis

Impact

TrueBooker – Appointment Booking and Scheduler System for WordPress allows anyone who knows a user’s ID to trigger a password reset through the 'tbab-userid' parameter without any authentication. The plugin fails to verify that the requester actually owns the account, so an attacker can reset the credentials of any user, including administrators. This flaw represents a severe authorization bypass, identified as CWE‑640, and gives an attacker complete control over compromised accounts.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the TrueBooker plugin from themetechmount, in all versions up to and including 1.2.3. Any WordPress site installing this plugin at the vulnerable version is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.8 the flaw is considered critical. While the EPSS score is currently unavailable, the lack of authentication requirement makes exploitation trivial under normal web attack conditions. The issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but its potential for rapid breaking into administrator accounts makes it a high priority risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade TrueBooker to the latest patch that resolves the password reset validation flaw; if no newer version exists, replace the plugin with a secure alternative.
  • If the plugin cannot be updated immediately, disable or remove the 'tbab-userid' endpoint or block it via the web application firewall to prevent attackers from triggering a reset.
  • After patching, change passwords for all user accounts, especially administrators, and monitor logs for any suspicious login activity.
