AI Analysis

Impact

The TrueBooker WordPress plugin, versions before 1.3.0, contains a handler that does not verify user capabilities. The token required for this call is assigned to unauthenticated visitors, allowing any user to overwrite the entire plugin configuration. This can disable booking features, misconfigure scheduling settings, or introduce malicious defaults, thereby compromising the integrity of the booking system. The weakness is a lack of authorization checks, resulting in a moderate security concern as reflected by the CVSS score of 5.3.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites using the TrueBooker Appointment Booking plugin version 1.1.9 through 1.2.9 are affected. The vulnerability applies to the admin_setting_setup_data API endpoint exposed by the plugin during initial configuration.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no currently known widespread exploitation. The likely attack vector is via HTTP requests to the setup endpoint, accessible to anyone without authentication. Because the token is issued to unauthenticated users, an attacker can overwrite configuration freely, but cannot execute code or gain system privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the plugin version 1.3.0 or newer, which includes proper capability checks for configuration updates.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, limit exposure of the admin_setting_setup_data endpoint by adding server‑side access controls (e.g., .htaccess rules or firewall restrictions) so only authenticated administrators can reach it.
  • After implementing controls, monitor log files for repeated attempts to access the configuration endpoint and verify that no unauthorized changes are made.
