Product: WooCommerce Bookings

Description

CVE-2026-14853 is a missing authorization vulnerability in the WooCommerce Bookings WordPress plugin before version 3.9.0. The plugin fails to perform a capability check on one of its AJAX actions, and its nonce check can be bypassed by omitting the token. This allows users with Subscriber-level access and above to create draft bookable products without proper authorization.

Technical Analysis

The WooCommerce Bookings plugin versions prior to 3.9.0 contain a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) where an AJAX action does not verify user capabilities. Additionally, the nonce protection can be bypassed by omitting the token, enabling users with minimal privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to create draft bookable products. This flaw could lead to unauthorized content creation within the plugin's booking system.

Potential Impact

Users with Subscriber-level access or higher can create draft bookable products without proper authorization, potentially leading to unauthorized content insertion or manipulation within the WooCommerce Bookings system. There is no indication of further privilege escalation or remote code execution from the provided data.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized draft bookable products. Avoid granting Subscriber-level access to untrusted users.
