CVE-2025-67581
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in themetechmount TrueBooker truebooker-appointment-booking allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects TrueBooker: from n/a through <= 1.1.0.
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 confidenceThe TrueBooker WordPress appointment booking plugin (versions up to 1.1.0) contains a missing authorization vulnerability where the plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before allowing access to certain functionality. This broken access control allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured security levels to perform actions they should not be permitted to access.

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 TrueBooker plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory at wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'truebooker' or 'true-booker', or look in the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins for TrueBookerAffected if TrueBooker plugin appears in the WordPress plugins list
-
Determine the installed versionOpen the main plugin file (typically truebooker.php or similar in wp-content/plugins/truebooker/) and look for the 'Version:' header in the plugin comment block, or check the version displayed in the WordPress admin plugins listAffected if Version is 1.1.0 or any version up to and including 1.1.0
-
Identify sensitive admin functions without authorization checksExamine the main plugin PHP file and any includes for functions that handle appointment data, user data, or settings. Search for missing current_user_can() capability checks or nonce validation before sensitive operations.Affected if Sensitive functions lack proper current_user_can() or nonce verification before executing
-
Check for publicly accessible sensitive endpointsReview plugin AJAX handlers (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) and front-end endpoints for functions that modify appointments, bookings, or user data without verifying user permissionsAffected if Plugin exposes endpoints that process sensitive data without verifying the user has appropriate permissions
If TrueBooker plugin version 1.1.0 or lower is installed AND the plugin contains admin functions or endpoints that process sensitive booking data without capability checks, the environment is likely affected by this authorization bypass vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper authorization checks (capability checks and nonce validation) on all sensitive functions and admin pages within the plugin. Update to the latest version when available and audit all user role permissions.
