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
Subscriber Broken Access Control in Booked <= 3.0.0 versions.

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

This is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the Booked appointment scheduling software affecting versions 3.0.0 and below. The 'Subscriber' user role can access resources or perform actions outside their intended permissions, likely allowing privilege escalation to access administrative functions or other users' data.

MitigationUpgrade Booked to the latest version (above 3.0.0) which should contain the access control fix. If upgrading is not immediately possible, review user role permissions and implement temporary application-layer access controls.

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 the installed Booked version
    Locate the version file or check the software's About/Status page, typically found in the application footer, admin dashboard, or configuration files (e.g., version.php, config.php, or a version.txt in the installation directory)
    Affected if The version is 3.0.0 or lower
  2. Verify the Subscriber role exists
    Access the user role management section in the Booked admin panel (usually under Settings > Users or Permissions) and confirm the Subscriber role is defined and enabled
    Affected if The Subscriber role is present and active in the system
  3. Check Subscriber role permission boundaries
    Review the permission matrix for the Subscriber role in the admin panel to determine if it has been granted access beyond standard user capabilities (e.g., administrative functions, other users' appointments, or configuration settings)
    Affected if Subscriber role permissions extend beyond typical user-level access or include administrative privileges
  4. Test access to administrative functions
    Log in with a Subscriber-level account and attempt to access administrative paths or features (e.g., /admin, /reports, user management, or other elevated functions)
    Affected if A Subscriber account can access or execute administrative functions it should not be authorized to use
  5. Inspect user data access isolation
    Using a Subscriber account, attempt to view, modify, or delete appointments or data belonging to other users
    Affected if Subscriber users can access or modify other users' appointments or personal data

You are affected if Booked version is 3.0.0 or below AND the Subscriber role has excessive permissions allowing access to administrative features or other users' data.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Booked to the latest version (above 3.0.0) which should contain the access control fix. If upgrading is not immediately possible, review user role permissions and implement temporary application-layer access controls.
