Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-25327 affects the WordPress Five Star Restaurant Reservations plugin through version 2.7.9. It is a broken access control issue, meaning unauthenticated visitors may reach functionality that should require authorization. The reported impact is limited confidentiality and availability, not data modification.
Executive priority
Treat as a medium-priority WordPress exposure. Prioritize public restaurant or booking sites using this plugin, especially where downtime or reservation-data exposure would affect operations. Remediation depends on vendor guidance because sources do not identify a fixed version.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Rustaurius Five Star Restaurant Reservations, package restaurant-reservations. CVSS 3.1 is 6.5: network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, with low confidentiality and availability impact. Sources do not name a fixed version or specific vulnerable endpoint.
Likely exposure
Internet-facing WordPress sites using Five Star Restaurant Reservations plugin version 2.7.9 or earlier are the likely exposure. Sites not running this plugin are not affected based on current sources.
Exploitation context
No cited source or KEV entry indicates active exploitation. The CVSS vector suggests remote unauthenticated exploitation may be possible, but public source details are limited and do not provide exploit specifics.
Researcher notes
There is a data inconsistency: the CVE description says affected through 2.7.9, while the structured affected entry lists version “0” with defaultStatus “unaffected.” Use the narrative version range and Patchstack reference when triaging, and verify against vendor data.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the restaurant-reservations plugin.
- Check installed plugin versions and flag 2.7.9 or earlier.
- Check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update if a vendor-supported fixed version is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin if it is not required.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed on each WordPress site.
- Verify the installed plugin version from WordPress administration or asset inventory.
- Document all sites running version 2.7.9 or earlier.
- After remediation, confirm the vulnerable version is no longer present.
- Review web logs for unusual unauthenticated access patterns involving the plugin.
