Vulnerability Overview

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 6.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wpdev_get_args_from_request_in_bk_listing function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.2.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
