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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify BookingPress plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory for the BookingPress plugin folder (wp-content/plugins/bookingpress-appointment-booking) or query the wp_options table for the active_plugins entry containing 'bookingpress'.Affected if BookingPress plugin is found in the WordPress installation
-
Determine installed BookingPress versionCheck the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/bookingpress-appointment-booking/bookingpress.php for the 'Version' field, or query the wp_options table where option_name = 'bookingpress_version'.Affected if Version is 1.1.28 or lower, or any version below 1.1.38
-
Confirm appointment booking forms are publicly accessibleNavigate to any published BookingPress booking form page or shortcode on the WordPress site to verify the booking functionality is live and accessible to unauthenticated users.Affected if Booking forms are published and accessible to visitors without authentication
-
Check for SQL injection entry pointsInspect the booking form frontend HTML and identify input fields (such as name, email, phone, or service selection fields) that submit data to the BookingPress AJAX endpoint (admin-ajax.php?action=bookingpress_front_get_category_services).Affected if Booking form fields submit directly to BookingPress AJAX handlers without visible sanitization or validation in the page source
A WordPress site is affected if it has BookingPress plugin version below 1.1.38 installed and has publicly accessible appointment booking forms that accept user input.
