Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a WordPress plugin access-control flaw. Sites using CodePeople WP Time Slots Booking Form up to version 1.1.76 may allow a logged-in user to perform a feedback-submission action without proper authorization. The known impact is limited integrity change, not data theft or service outage.
Executive priority
Treat as a medium-priority WordPress hygiene issue. It does not show confirmed exploitation or high-impact data exposure, but affected public sites with customer or subscriber logins should be reviewed and remediated promptly.
Technical view
CVE-2022-41790 is a CWE-862 missing authorization issue in the wp-time-slots-booking-form plugin through 1.1.76. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, low integrity impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure applies to WordPress sites with WP Time Slots Booking Form version 1.1.76 or older installed. Risk is higher where untrusted or broadly available low-privilege accounts can log in, because the CVSS vector requires low privileges.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. The available public description indicates missing authorization leading to feedback submission, but does not provide exploit prevalence, exploit maturity, or detailed operational indicators.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse. The CVE and Patchstack entry identify missing authorization in the plugin through 1.1.76, with low integrity impact and low privileges required. No source in the bundle names a specific fixed version or active exploitation.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the WP Time Slots Booking Form plugin.
- If version is 1.1.76 or older, check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update to a vendor-supported fixed version when confirmed available.
- If no fix is available, disable or remove the plugin where business impact allows.
- Limit untrusted low-privilege WordPress accounts until remediation is complete.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether wp-time-slots-booking-form is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version and compare it with the affected range through 1.1.76.
- Review recent feedback submissions for unexpected or unauthorized activity.
- Confirm remediation by verifying the plugin is updated, disabled, or removed.
- Document any accepted risk for sites that cannot immediately remediate.
