Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-287.

Summary

The Salon Booking System WordPress plugin before 10.31.9 does not generate its booking-API access tokens from a secure random source. Instead, tokens are derived from a hardcoded value and the second at which the token was issued. An unauthenticated remote attacker who can constrain when a staff or administrator token was issued can compute a valid token and access the booking API as that user, including an administrator. This is classified as CWE-287 (Improper Authentication), and a public exploit is linked in the references.
