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.
-
Confirm Easy Hotel Booking plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'easy-hotel-booking' or similar themewant hotel booking plugin.Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, view the plugin details to see the version number, or open the plugin's main PHP file (usually easy-hotel-booking.php) and check the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.Affected if The version number is 1.9.2 or lower
-
Audit plugin files for missing capability checksInspect PHP files in the plugin directory, searching for WordPress AJAX handlers (admin-ajax.php hooks) and other action handlers. Look for the presence or absence of current_user_can() or similar authorization checks before executing sensitive operations.Affected if AJAX or action handlers exist without current_user_can() verification before processing requests
-
Test for unauthenticated access to plugin endpointsUsing a tool like curl or Burp Suite, send requests to common WordPress admin-ajax.php endpoints with the plugin's action parameters while not logged in (no authentication cookies). Observe if the server returns successful responses rather than authentication errors.Affected if The plugin responds successfully to unauthenticated requests that should require administrative privileges
A user is affected if the Easy Hotel Booking plugin (version 1.9.2 or lower) is installed and contains endpoints accessible without authentication or proper capability checks.

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 dataUpdate the Easy Hotel Booking plugin to the latest version once a patch is released. If no patch is available, audit all plugin endpoints for proper capability checks and nonce verification, and restrict access to administrative functions via server-side configuration.
