Description
The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite or delete the internal notes (_mphb_booking_internal_notes) of any booking by supplying an arbitrary booking ID. The nonce for this action is output in the HTML source of every public page through wp_localize_script (MPHB._data.nonces), so any unauthenticated visitor can obtain a valid nonce and perform the action without any account or prior interaction.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a missing authorization check that allows an unauthenticated visitor to overwrite or delete the internal notes (_mphb_booking_internal_notes) of any booking in MotoPress Hotel Booking. The vulnerability arises because the plugin exposes a nonce for the mphb_update_booking_notes AJAX action on every public page, so any user can acquire a valid nonce and submit the request without being logged in. An attacker could therefore alter booking data, potentially causing incorrect billing, reservation misuse, or loss of confidence in the booking system.

Affected Systems

All installations of the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress with a version number 6.0.1 or earlier are affected. This includes the free Lite version and the full version from the Jetmonsters vendor. Any WordPress site that has the plugin active before version 6.0.2 is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity flaw that does not grant code execution but allows unauthorized modification of booking information. Because the EPSS score is unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalogue, it is likely not actively exploited in the wild, yet the attack path is trivial: an unauthenticated web visitor can obtain a page‑generated nonce and invoke the AJAX endpoint directly. This makes the vulnerability high‑risk for sites that rely on booking data integrity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MotoPress Hotel Booking to the latest released version that fixes the unauthorized booking notes modification vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, modify the plugin or your theme so that the mphb_update_booking_notes AJAX action checks that the current user is logged in and has the appropriate role before processing the request, and ensure the nonce for this action is not printed on public pages.
  • Implement WAF or server‑side rules to block unauthenticated POST requests to the wp_ajax_mphb_update_booking_notes endpoint, and monitor logs for attempts to use this endpoint.
