Technical details

The vulnerability is a missing ownership verification flaw in the /users/customers/<id> REST API endpoint. Authenticated users with the wpamelia-provider role can send requests to access or modify arbitrary customer records without the application checking whether the requesting user owns or has permission to access that customer. An attacker with this role can view sensitive customer information, reset passwords, and potentially take over WordPress accounts with Editor role or lower if that user made an Amelia booking. The vulnerability affects all Premium versions up to and including 2.4.4; the free version is not impacted. No user interaction is required—only network access and valid plugin credentials.
