What the vulnerability does
The Awesome Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to incorrect authorization in the room-single.php shortcode handler in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to the plugin relying solely on nonce verification without capability checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify arbitrary booking records by obtaining a nonce from the public booking form.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Awesome Hotel Booking versions 1.0.3 and earlier contain an authorization flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify data on the site. The vulnerability stems from incorrect authorization checks that fail to properly validate user permissions before processing requests. No authentication is required to exploit this issue.
What an attacker can do
Modify data on the site without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
Unauthorized users can alter booking data, settings, or other site content without logging in.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access to the site; no authentication or user interaction required.
