Title
TrueBooker <= 1.2.6 - Unauthenticated Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key to Account Takeover to 'truebooker_wp_user_id' Parameter
Summary
The TrueBooker – Appointment Booking and Scheduler System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key leading to Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.6. This is due to the admin_user_create_cus AJAX handler lacking any authentication or capability check before passing the attacker-supplied truebooker_wp_user_id parameter directly to wp_update_user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the email address of any WordPress user — including an administrator — and then complete the standard WordPress lost-password flow to fully take over the targeted account.
