What the vulnerability does
The WP Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'check_in_date' and 'check_out_date' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

An attacker can craft a malicious link that, when visited by a site administrator or user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in their browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in a user's browser to steal credentials or perform unauthorized actions.
Potential impact on your site
