Description
The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpbc_auto_fill' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 11.8.3 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 Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress contains a reflected cross‑site scripting flaw that is triggered when the wpbc_auto_fill parameter is passed in a URL. Because the plugin does not sanitize or escape this input before echoing it back to the page, an attacker can embed arbitrary JavaScript that will run in the browser of any user who follows a crafted link. This is a client‑side code execution vulnerability that can occur without authentication.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the wpdevelop Booking Calendar plugin installed in a version equal to or older than 11.8.3 are affected. All releases up through 11.8.3 contain the flaw. Sites that have migrated to a newer version have fixed the issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates a moderate severity for this vulnerability. No EPSS data is available and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited evidence of exploitation. The attack vector is a typical reflected XSS scenario: an unauthenticated attacker sends a malicious link containing a crafted wpbc_auto_fill parameter to a victim; the victim’s browser then executes the injected script when the link is clicked.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Booking Calendar plugin to a version newer than 11.8.3 to ensure proper input sanitization and output escaping.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, temporarily deactivate or uninstall the Booking Calendar plugin to eliminate the vulnerable code path.
  • Implement a content‑security‑policy that disallows inline scripts or use a Web Application Firewall to detect and block reflected XSS attempts.
