Summary
The MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin for WordPress up to version 2.4.4 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability via user-controlled key. Unauthenticated attackers can overwrite customer data (name, email, phone, customer_id) in unconfirmed victim bookings by exploiting a publicly accessible REST endpoint.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can manipulate personal data in unconfirmed bookings, leading to data integrity and confidentiality breaches, as well as potential fraud or booking manipulation.
Recommendation
Immediately update the MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability. As a temporary measure, disable the plugin or restrict access to REST endpoints for unauthenticated users.
Other vulnerabilities in MotoPress Appointment Booking
See all- CVE-2026-15232Medium
The MotoPress Appointment Booking WordPress plugin before version 2.4.8 does not perform an authorization or ownership check when handling a user-supplied booking identifier on an unauthenticated endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete other users' reservations. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2026-9180: the deletion remains reachable on sites using payment confirmation, confirmed through version 2.4.7.
- CVE-2026-13454Medium
The MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL injection via the 's' parameter in all versions up to and including 2.4.5 due to insufficient escaping and lack of query preparation. This allows authenticated attackers with custom-level access or higher to append additional SQL queries to existing ones.
Original NVD description (English source)
The MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.4. This is due to the `POST /motopress/appointment/v1/bookings` REST endpoint being registered with `'permission_callback' => '__return_true'`, allowing unauthenticated access, while the `createBooking` handler in `BookingsRestController.php` accepts an attacker-supplied `payment_details.booking_id` value and loads the referenced booking via `findById()` without verifying that the caller owns or has any rights to that booking. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the customer name, email address, phone number, and `customer_id` of any non-confirmed victim booking by submitting a request with no reservation items, causing `BookingService::createBooking()` to load the existing victim booking object and persist it with attacker-controlled customer data. Victim booking IDs can be harvested prior to exploitation without authentication by querying the also-publicly-accessible `GET /motopress/appointment/v1/bookings/reservations` endpoint with a guessable `service_id` and date range, and only bookings whose status is not `STATUS_CONFIRMED` (e.g., pending or auto-draft) are valid targets.
