Until a fix is available, restrict Editor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious account changes. Avoid using the vulnerable versions (<=1.7.16) if possible.

Description

The Booking Package plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability in versions up to and including 1.7.16 that allows privilege escalation via account takeover. This occurs because the 'updateUser' AJAX endpoint lacks proper capability checks, enabling authenticated users with Editor-level access or higher to change the email and password of any account, including administrators. This can lead to a full site takeover.
