CVE-2026-15401 Details
Description
The VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'vbfX' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vbfX custom-field value is stored via the public-facing saveorder task, which has no capability or authentication check enforced by default, enabling fully unauthenticated submission of malicious payloads.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.8.13. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute when a user accesses the compromised page. The issue is linked to the 'vbfX' parameter, which is saved via the publicly accessible 'saveorder' task, lacking any authentication or capability checks, thus enabling unauthorized submission of malicious payloads.
Users are advised to update the VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS plugin to version 1.8.14 or a newer patched version.
