Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

Booking X Plugin for WordPress | 1.0 to 1.1.2

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability exists due to a missing capability check in the export_now() function of the Booking X plugin. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to issue a crafted POST request, bypassing normal authentication processes. As a result, attackers can download all plugin data, including user accounts, user meta, and PayPal credentials.

Conceptual Example Code

The below pseudocode represents how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:

POST /wp-content/plugins/booking-x/includes/export.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "action": "export_now", "nonce": "..." }

In this example, the attacker crafts a POST request to the vulnerable endpoint in the plugin, triggering the export_now() function. The attacker can then download the resulting data file, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data.
