Until an official fix is released, restrict access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to user account changes. Avoid granting unnecessary permissions to users and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin if possible.
Description
The Amelia Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object References in versions up to, and including, 9.1.2. This is due to the plugin providing user-controlled access to objects, letting a user bypass authorization and access system resources. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with customer-level permissions or above to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts. The vulnerability is in the pro plugin, which has the same slug.
