Vulnerability Overview

The Salon booking system plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to a missing capability check on several functions hooked into admin_init in all versions up to, and including, 9.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber access or higher to modify plugin settings and view discount codes intended for other users.

CWE-280: Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges

The product does not handle or incorrectly handles when it has insufficient privileges to access resources or functionality as specified by their permissions. This may cause it to follow unexpected code paths that may leave the product in an invalid state.
