Vulnerability in WP Timetics Plugin Allows for Account Takeover and Privilege Escalation

CVE-2024-9263

What is CVE-2024-9263?

The WP Timetics Appointment Booking Calendar and Online Scheduling Plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute account takeover and privilege escalation through Insecure Direct Object Reference. This issue arises from insufficient validation on a user-controlled key during the save() function, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.25. Consequently, attackers are able to reset the email addresses and passwords of arbitrary user accounts, giving them unauthorized access to sensitive accounts, including those of administrators.
