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 · unedited
The Appointment Booking and Scheduler Plugin – Truebooker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4 through views php files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view potentially sensitive information contained in the exposed views php files via direct access.

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

The Truebooker WordPress plugin exposes view PHP files directly via web access, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve potentially sensitive information from these template files. The vulnerability exists because the views directory is accessible without proper access controls or server-side restrictions.

MitigationRestrict direct access to view files by moving them outside the web root or implementing proper access controls (e.g., .htaccess rules, checks for defined constants) to prevent direct PHP inclusion. Update to a patched version if available.

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. Identify if Truebooker plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress wp-content/plugins directory for a folder named 'truebooker' or search the plugins list via wp-admin
    Affected if The Truebooker plugin folder exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Locate the views directory
    Navigate to wp-content/plugins/truebooker and look for a 'views' or 'view' subdirectory containing PHP files
    Affected if A views directory with PHP template files exists within the plugin
  3. Test direct web access to view files
    Attempt to access a view PHP file via HTTP request, for example: https://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/truebooker/views/somefile.php
    Affected if The PHP file loads and displays content rather than being blocked or returning a 403 error
  4. Check for sensitive data exposure
    Examine the response from accessed view files to see if they reveal configuration details, API keys, database credentials, or other sensitive information
    Affected if The view files return actual PHP content, error messages, or sensitive data rather than being properly protected
  5. Verify server-side access controls
    Check if .htaccess rules exist in the views directory to block direct access, or if the plugin uses defined('ABSPATH') checks at the top of view files
    Affected if No .htaccess restrictions exist AND view files lack ABSPATH inclusion guards, allowing unauthenticated access

You are affected if the Truebooker plugin is installed and its view PHP files can be directly accessed via web browser without authentication or server-side restrictions.
