Summary
The Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress through 3.8 contains an insecure direct object reference flaw (CWE-639). The plugin trusts user-supplied object identifiers without checking that the requesting user is allowed to access them. A remote attacker with Subscriber-level access and no user interaction can read data belonging to other users, which affects confidentiality.
