Vulnerability Overview
The Chauffeur Taxi Booking System for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.9. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions.
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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity.
CWE-287: Improper Authentication
Reaching this weakness in Chauffeur Taxi Booking System for WordPress <= 6.9 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Improper authentication means the mechanism that proves who a caller is can be satisfied without the secret it was supposed to require.
An attacker authenticates as another user — administrators included — without ever knowing a password, so password policies and login rate limits never come into play. For Chauffeur Taxi Booking System for WordPress the fix is 7.0: builds <= 6.9 are affected, anything from 7.0 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 7.0, 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: Chauffeur Taxi Booking System for WordPress 7.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
