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 Calendar Plugin – Bookr plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the update-appointment REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the status of any appointment.

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 · high confidence

The Bookr WordPress plugin has a missing authorization vulnerability in its REST API endpoint for updating appointments. The update-appointment endpoint does not perform capability checks or validate user permissions, allowing any unauthenticated request to modify appointment statuses. This is an IDOR-style authorization failure where the API trusts client input without verifying the requester's rights to modify the referenced appointment.

MitigationImplement proper capability checks and user authorization validation in the update-appointment REST API endpoint. Until a patched version is available, consider restricting access to the REST API endpoint or deploying a WAF rule to limit unauthenticated appointment modifications.

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 Bookr plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name=bookr or inspect /wp-content/plugins/ for a bookr folder
    Affected if The Bookr plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine Bookr plugin version
    Access WordPress admin > Plugins > Bookr, or check the main plugin file header for the Version field, or use: grep -i 'Version:' /path/to/wp-content/plugins/bookr/*.php
    Affected if The installed version matches or falls within the affected version range (verify against published vulnerable versions)
  3. Confirm REST API endpoint exposure
    Probe the endpoint with a HEAD or GET request to common Bookr REST routes such as /wp-json/bookr/v1/appointments or /wp-json/bookr/update-appointment, or enumerate via /wp-json/
    Affected if The Bookr REST API endpoints are accessible and respond to requests
  4. Test unauthenticated appointment modification
    Send a POST request to the update-appointment endpoint with a valid appointment ID and modified status parameters (such as status=confirmed), without including any authentication headers or cookies
    Affected if The request succeeds and modifies the appointment status without requiring authentication or authorization
  5. Verify missing capability checks
    Examine the plugin source code in the REST API handler file (typically in includes/class-bookr-rest-api.php or similar) for current_user_can() or permission_callback checks on the update-appointment route
    Affected if The endpoint handler lacks capability verification or permission_callback validation

A user is affected if the Bookr plugin is installed with a vulnerable version and the REST API update-appointment endpoint accepts and processes unauthenticated requests to modify appointment statuses.
