Is Booking Calendar safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 11.4.3 via the wpbc_is_show_popover_in_flex_timeline() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including names, email addresses, and phone numbers of customers who have made bookings.

The Booking Calendar WordPress plugin before 11.8.3 does not adequately restrict which options a lower-privileged user can load through one of its settings handlers, allowing users with the Editor role and above to disclose the values of arbitrary WordPress options, including core site configuration.

The Booking Calendar WordPress plugin before 11.8 does not generate its per-booking access hashes with sufficient entropy, deriving each from a low-entropy time-seeded value, which can allow unauthenticated attackers who are able to determine a booking's creation time to predict the hash and then read that booking's personal data or modify the booking in place.

Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability in WPdevelop Booking Calendar booking allows Leveraging Race Conditions.This issue affects Booking Calendar: from n/a through 11.8.4.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpbc_auto_fill' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 11.8.3 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.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'options' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 11.8.2 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. The nonce check is bypassed by default because the 'booking_is_nonce_at_front_end' option ships disabled, allowing unauthenticated requests to reach the vulnerable sink without any verification.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 11.8.2 via the `wpbc_ajax_option_save` AJAX action. The vulnerability exists because the `handle_ajax_save()` function applies per-option safeguards only to names explicitly registered via `register_option_policy()`, causing `get_option_policy()` to return an empty policy — bypassing all can_save, force_mode, and allowed_keys checks — for any unregistered option name, including core WordPress options, while an attacker-controlled `data_name` parameter passes through `sanitize_key()` and is written directly to `update_option()` without restriction. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Editor-level access and above to escalate their privileges to Administrator by writing core WordPress options such as `default_role=administrator` and `users_can_register=1`, then self-registering a new Administrator account. The nonce check does not meaningfully restrict this attack, as both the nonce value and nonce action are attacker-supplied POST parameters, and a valid nonce is trivially obtainable via `admin-ajax.php?action=rest-nonce`.

Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Booking Calendar <= 11.7 versions.

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Booking Calendar <= 11.4.2 versions.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in wpdevelop Booking Calendar booking allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Booking Calendar: from n/a through <= 10.14.15.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.14 via the handle_ajax_save function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, and booking permissions granted by an Administrator, to modify other users' plugin settings, such as booking calendar display options, which can disrupt the booking calendar functionality for the targeted user.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the wpbc_ajax_WPBC_FLEXTIMELINE_NAV() function in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.13. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve booking information including customer names, phones and emails.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization leading to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to view all booking records in the database, including personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment status, booking costs, and booking hashes belonging to other users.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.10 via the `WPBC_FLEXTIMELINE_NAV` AJAX action. This is due to the nonce verification being conditionally disabled by default (`booking_is_nonce_at_front_end` option is `'Off'` by default). When the `booking_is_show_popover_in_timeline_front_end` option is enabled (which is the default in demo installations and can be enabled by administrators), it is possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive booking data including customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, and booking details.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'dates_to_check' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin 'bookingcalendar' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in wpdevelop Booking Calendar booking allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Booking Calendar: from n/a through <= 10.14.7.

The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via settings in all versions up to, and including, 10.14.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wpbc shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 10.11.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Post-Confirmation Booking Manipulation in all versions up to, and including, 10.10. This is due to the plugin not properly requiring re-verification after a booking has been made and a change is being attempted. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to manipulate their confirmed bookings, even after they have been approved.

The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'booking' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 10.9.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 10.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled. In addition, site administrators have the option to grant lower-level users with access to manage the plugin's settings which may extend this vulnerability to those users.

The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters from 'timeline_obj' in all versions up to, and including, 10.5 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.

The WP Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'type' attribute within the plugin's bookingform shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 10.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
