Vulnerability Overview

The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on a function in all versions up to 2.4.7 (exclusive). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform an unauthorized action.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function

The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.

Remediation

Update to version 2.4.7, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar 2.4.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
