Description
The Appointment Bookings for Zoom GoogleMeet and more – Wappointment plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to and including 2.7.6 via the `appointmentkey` parameter due to the appointment `edit_key` — the sole authorization token consumed by `tryCancel()` — being generated as a predictable, unsalted MD5 hash of only `client_id` (a sequential integer), `start_at` (a publicly observable appointment timestamp), and `staff_id` (a small enumerable integer), with no secret salt or random component, and the unauthenticated cancellation and rescheduling REST endpoints performing no ownership or identity verification beyond matching this reconstructible key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to compute valid `edit_key` values for appointments belonging to other users and cancel or reschedule those appointments arbitrarily. Exploitation requires the `allow_cancellation` or `allow_rescheduling` setting to be enabled on the site, both of which are common configurations for active booking deployments; an attacker can obtain the inputs needed to reconstruct a victim's key by booking their own appointment to observe their sequential `client_id` and correlating publicly visible appointment times and enumerable staff identifiers.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Wappointment WordPress plugin creates a key used for cancellation and time, and the staff identifier with MD5, without any salt or random component. This predictable key allows an attacker to reconstruct valid keys for any appointment if they can determine the three inputs. The REST endpoints that perform these actions validate only the key and perform no ownership or authentication checks, enabling.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that install Wappointment plugin version 2.7.6 or earlier and have the allow_cancellation or commonly activated on active booking deployments, meaning many sites that have not yet upgraded are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of 0.00297 (roughly 0.3%). The plugin is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An unauthenticated attacker can first book an appointment to learn the sequential client identifier and then, using publicly visible appointment times and staff identifiers, compute a valid edit key to cancel or reschedule any other appointment. This attack path requires no additional credentials and relies solely on the predictable key generation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade W newer than 2.7.6, which removes the predictable key derivation and adds proper ownership checks to cancellation and rescheduling endpoints
  • Disable the allow_cancellation and allow_rescheduling options until a version with corrected access control is available, ensuring that only authenticated or appointment owners can modify bookings
  • Implement explicit ownership verification in the cancel and reschedule REST endpoints so that only the appointment owner or an authenticated user may invoke the operation
