What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Appointment Bookings for Zoom GoogleMeet and more – Wappointment plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to and including 2.7.6 via the `appointmentkey` parameter due to the appointment `edit_key` — the sole authorization token consumed by `tryCancel()` — being generated as a predictable, unsalted MD5 hash of only `client_id` (a sequential integer), `start_at` (a publicly observable appointment timestamp), and `staff_id` (a small enumerable integer), with no secret salt or random component, and the unauthenticated cancellation and rescheduling REST endpoints performing no ownership or identity verification beyond matching this reconstructible key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to compute valid `edit_key` values for appointments belonging to other users and cancel or reschedule those appointments arbitrarily. Exploitation requires the `allow_cancellation` or `allow_rescheduling` setting to be enabled on the site, both of which are common configurations for active booking deployments; an attacker can obtain the inputs needed to reconstruct a victim's key by booking their own appointment to observe their sequential `client_id` and correlating publicly visible appointment times and enumerable staff identifiers.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Wappointment versions 2.7.6 and earlier contain an integrity vulnerability allowing network-based attackers to modify data without authentication. The attack requires no user interaction and exploits a weakness in input validation or access controls. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 2.7.6 to mitigate this risk.
