CVE-2026-8684: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in jetmonsters MotoPress Hotel Booking
The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite or delete the internal notes (_mphb_booking_internal_notes) of any booking by supplying an arbitrary booking ID. The nonce for this action is output in the HTML source of every public page through wp_localize_script (MPHB._data.nonces), so any unauthenticated visitor can obtain a valid nonce and perform the action without any account or prior interaction.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-8684 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress. The plugin fails to verify that a user is authorized to modify internal booking notes (_mphb_booking_internal_notes). The nonce needed to perform this action is publicly exposed via wp_localize_script on all public pages, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite or delete internal notes of any booking by specifying arbitrary booking IDs. This affects all versions up to and including 6.0.1.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to modify internal booking notes, which could lead to integrity issues in booking data. There is no impact on confidentiality or availability reported. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting a network attack vector with no privileges or user interaction required, causing integrity loss only.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected plugin or disable it if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply any official patches promptly once released.
