Summary

The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar (Amelia) plugin for WordPress, from 9.0 through 9.9.1, does not check whether a user is the organizer of an event before returning its attendee report. This missing authorization check (CWE-862) lets an authenticated user with customer-level access export personal data of attendees for any event on the site, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and payment details.

Description from the CNA

The Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of attendee data due to a missing authorization check on the GetEventAttendeesCommandHandler::handle() function in versions up to, and including, 9.9.1. The handler only enforces the broad `amelia_read_events` capability — which the plugin's own `wpamelia-customer` role possesses — and does not verify that the authenticated user is an organizer/provider of the event referenced by the client-supplied `id` query parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with wpamelia-customer-level access and above, to export the full CSV of attendee personally identifiable information (first/last name, email, phone, date of birth, gender, private notes, payment amounts/methods, WooCommerce order IDs, custom-field values, and uploaded-file URLs) for any Amelia event on the site by directly invoking the `/report/event/attendees` endpoint with an arbitrary event ID.
