Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a Missing Authorization (Broken Access Control) vulnerability in the ReDi Restaurant Reservation plugin. The vulnerability allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, likely enabling unauthorized access to reservation data, customer information, or administrative functions without proper authentication or authorization checks. The issue affects all versions up to and including 23.0211.

MitigationUpdate the ReDi Restaurant Reservation plugin to the latest version beyond 23.0211 to obtain the patched release. Additionally, review and enforce proper role-based access control (RBAC) checks on all sensitive endpoints.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate the ReDi Restaurant Reservation plugin installation
    Check your WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/redi-restaurant-reservation) or navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in the WordPress admin dashboard to confirm the plugin is present
    Affected if The plugin directory or listing exists on the system
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (redi-restaurant-reservation.php) and locate the version constant in the plugin header comments, or check the version displayed in the WordPress plugins list
    Affected if The version number returned is 23.0211 or any earlier version
  3. Verify access control on reservation endpoints
    Attempt to access the reservation API endpoints (typically at /wp-json/redi-api/ or similar) without providing authentication credentials or valid nonce tokens
    Affected if The endpoint returns reservation data, customer information, or administrative functionality without requiring login or proper capability checks
  4. Inspect plugin code for capability checks
    Review the main plugin PHP files for missing current_user_can(), is_user_logged_in(), or nonce verification calls before executing sensitive operations such as data retrieval, modification, or deletion
    Affected if Sensitive functions lack authorization checks or rely solely on superficial validation that can be bypassed

A user is affected if the ReDi Restaurant Reservation plugin is installed with version 23.0211 or lower AND sensitive endpoints or functions are accessible without authentication or proper capability verification.
