NVD · unedited
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce allows Object Injection.This issue affects Booking and Rental Manager: from n/a through <= 2.2.6.

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

A PHP Object Injection vulnerability exists in the magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager plugin for WooCommerce. The plugin deserializes untrusted data (likely via PHP's unsafe unserialize() function on user-supplied input), allowing an attacker to inject crafted PHP objects. This can potentially lead to remote code execution if the application has vulnerable classes with magic methods like __destruct() or __wakeup().

MitigationApply the latest plugin update from the vendor that replaces unsafe deserialization with safe alternatives (e.g., json_decode). If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released.

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. Confirm the plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Booking and Rental Manager for WooCommerce' by MagePeople Team, or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name='booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce'
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin to view version details, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce/ or similar path, or use WP-CLI: wp plugin get booking-and-rental-manager-for-woocommerce --field=version
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is earlier than the patched version
  3. Verify WooCommerce is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, confirm WooCommerce is active, or check wp_options table for option_name='active_plugins' containing WooCommerce
    Affected if WooCommerce is active and the vulnerable plugin is present (the plugin only operates within WooCommerce context)
  4. Identify deserialization entry points
    Search plugin files for unserialize() calls without prior sanitization, typically in AJAX handlers or form processing files. Common locations: /includes/class-ajax.php, /public/class-shortcode.php, or any file handling submitted booking/order data
    Affected if The plugin contains unserialize() calls on user-supplied input without validation (this is the vulnerable condition)

You are affected if the magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager plugin is installed, WooCommerce is active, and the plugin code contains unprotected unserialize() calls processing user input.
