Technical details

A Missing Authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability exists in the Five Star Restaurant Reservations plugin for WordPress through version 2.7.14. The flaw stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels within the plugin's reservation handling logic. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this lack of authorization checks to bypass payment requirements during the booking process. This allows for the creation of confirmed reservations without valid payment. The issue is resolved in version 2.7.15.
