Description
The WP Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'check_in_date' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.2 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WP Hotel Booking plugin contains a reflected Cross‑Site Scripting flaw triggered by the unchecked 'check_in_date' query parameter. When an attacker crafts a URL containing malicious code, the unsanitized value is echoed back into the page, allowing the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to cookie theft, session hijacking, phishing payloads or site defacement without requiring any privileged access.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that have installed ThimPress WP Hotel Booking plugin versions up to and including 2.3.2 are affected. Any instance of the plugin in those releases will expose the reflected XSS vulnerability.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores a CVSS of 6.1, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is not common at present and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can succeed simply by luring a user to a malicious link; no authentication or elevated privileges are required. While the probability of exploitation is low, a successful payload would compromise user confidentiality and integrity, making it a meaningful risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WP Hotel Booking plugin to the latest version released by ThimPress, which removes the unchecked 'check_in_date' handling.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, apply server‑side validation to the 'check_in_date' parameter and ensure any output containing this value is properly escaped before rendering.
  • Introduce a strict Content Security Policy on the site that limits script sources to approved domains and blocks inline script execution.
  • Consider adding a Web Application Firewall rule to detect and reject suspicious attempts to manipulate the 'check_in_date' parameter.
