Technical details

The VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'email' parameter. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 1.8.8. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by submitting a crafted email address containing arbitrary JavaScript. Because the input is stored in the database and later rendered without proper escaping, the script will execute in the context of any user (including administrators) who views the record. This can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized administrative actions, or website defacement. The issue is addressed in version 1.8.9.
