AI Analysis

Impact

Booking Manager allows improper neutralization of input during web page generation, creating a stored XSS condition. Malicious code injected through any user‑controlled field is persisted and executed in the browsers of all users who view the affected pages, enabling session hijacking, defacement, or phishing attacks.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that install the Booking Manager plugin from wpdevelop, specifically any release up to and including version 2.1.18.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 classifies this flaw as moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability has not been listed in CISA KEV, yet the plugin’s widespread adoption suggests a non‑negligible attack surface. Exploitation requires only a malicious payload entered into a plugin form; because the payload is stored, it is rendered for every page view, making the attack highly effective once the input is submitted.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Booking Manager plugin to a version newer than 2.1.18
  • If an upgrade is not possible immediately, disable or restrict user access to the plugin’s input forms to stop new malicious data from being stored
  • Apply server‑side output encoding or additional input validation on pages that display plugin‑generated content to mitigate any residual XSS risk
