Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Five Star Restaurant Reservations (WordPress plugin) to 2.7.9.

AI-suggested

The primary mitigation is to update the Five Star Restaurant Reservations plugin to version 2.7.9 or later, where CSRF protections have been implemented for all bulk actions. Organizations should ensure that all WordPress plugins are kept up to date as part of routine maintenance. Additionally, administrators should be trained to recognize phishing and social engineering attempts to reduce the risk of being tricked into executing malicious actions. Implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and SameSite cookie attributes can help mitigate CSRF risks by restricting cross-origin requests. Employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for admin accounts can reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used in conjunction with CSRF attacks. Regular backups of booking data should be maintained to allow recovery in case of unauthorized deletions. Finally, monitoring and logging admin actions can help detect suspicious activities early and enable rapid response.

Description

CVE-2026-0658 is a medium severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the Five Star Restaurant Reservations WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.7.9. The vulnerability arises because the plugin lacks proper CSRF protections on certain bulk action functionalities, allowing an attacker to trick authenticated admin users into performing unintended actions, such as deleting bookings. Exploitation requires the victim to be logged in as an admin and to interact with a maliciously crafted web page. The vulnerability impacts the integrity of booking data but does not affect confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. Organizations using this plugin should update to version 2.7.9 or later to mitigate the risk.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly those in the hospitality and restaurant sectors using WordPress with the Five Star Restaurant Reservations plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk to the integrity of their booking data. Unauthorized deletion of bookings can lead to operational disruptions, loss of customer trust, and potential financial losses due to missed reservations. While the vulnerability does not expose sensitive personal data or cause service outages, the manipulation of booking records can degrade service quality and damage reputation. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause confusion or sabotage competitors by deleting legitimate bookings. The requirement for an authenticated admin user to be tricked into visiting a malicious page limits the scope but does not eliminate the risk, especially in environments with less stringent user awareness or where phishing attacks are prevalent. European organizations with high WordPress usage and significant online booking operations are more exposed. Additionally, regulatory frameworks like GDPR emphasize data integrity and operational reliability, so such incidents could have compliance implications if they lead to service failures or customer complaints.

Compound weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #3OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Architecture and Design
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
