Vulnerability Overview

The Appointment Booking Calendar Plugin and Online Scheduling Plugin – BookingPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions 1.1.6 to 1.1.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a user's identity prior to logging them in when completing a booking. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as registered users, including administrators, if they have access to that user's email. This is only exploitable when the 'Auto login user after successful booking' setting is enabled.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.1.8, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel) The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
