It carries a CVSS score of 6.1 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview

The Free Booking Plugin for Hotels, Restaurants and Car Rentals – eaSYNC Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.14. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

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.

CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Reaching this weakness in eaSYNC Booking <= 1.3.14 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.

An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. For eaSYNC Booking the fix is 1.3.15: builds <= 1.3.14 are affected, anything from 1.3.15 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.3.15, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to eaSYNC Booking: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: eaSYNC Booking 1.3.15 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
