CVE-2026-15152: CWE-345 Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in WP Hotel Booking
CVE-2026-15152 is a vulnerability in the WP Hotel Booking WordPress plugin before version 2.3.2. The plugin fails to verify that payment notifications correspond to payments made to the site's own merchant account and does not confirm that the paid amount matches the booking total. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to have their bookings marked as fully paid without any actual payment reaching the site owner.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WP Hotel Booking plugin prior to version 2.3.2 contains an insufficient verification of data authenticity vulnerability (CWE-345). Specifically, it does not verify that payment notifications are legitimate or that the payment amount matches the booking total. This allows attackers to spoof payment notifications, causing bookings to be marked as paid without any real transaction occurring.
Potential Impact
An attacker can manipulate the booking system by submitting fake payment notifications, resulting in bookings being marked as paid without any funds being transferred to the site owner. This leads to potential financial loss and fraudulent bookings.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should monitor for vendor updates and consider additional manual verification of payment notifications to prevent fraudulent bookings.
