Vulnerability Overview

The Appointment Booking Calendar Plugin and Scheduling Plugin – BookingPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized export file download in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.22. This is due to the plugin not properly generating export files with sufficiently random filenames or implementing storage protection. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download export files.

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-219: Storage of File with Sensitive Data Under Web Root

The product stores sensitive data under the web document root with insufficient access control, which might make it accessible to untrusted parties.

Remediation

Update to version 1.1.23, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Appointment Booking Calendar Plugin and Scheduling Plugin 1.1.23 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
