The Salon Booking System – Free Version plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions up to, and including, 10.30.25.

The vulnerability arises because the plugin's public booking flow accepts file-field inputs controlled by attackers and later uses these inputs as file paths for email attachments without proper validation. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the local server and exfiltrate them via booking confirmation emails. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact. No patch or official remediation has been published, and the plugin is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
