Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored XSS in the REST endpoint /motopress/appointment/v1/customers/create, which is registered with an unrestricted permission callback. The 'name' parameter is not sanitized before insertion into the wp_mpa_customers database table and is not escaped on output in the admin bookings page for users without 'mpa_edit_customer' capability (such as Appointment Employee roles). An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript that persists and executes in the admin interface.

Affected products
