Technical details

The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress (up to version 6.0.1) fails to perform adequate authorization checks in its AJAX API handler for updating booking notes. Specifically, the 'update-booking-notes' action does not verify if the requester has administrative privileges. While the action is protected by a nonce, this nonce is leaked to all visitors via the 'MPHB._data.nonces' object in the HTML source of public pages. Consequently, an unauthenticated attacker can obtain a valid nonce and send a crafted request with an arbitrary booking ID to overwrite or delete the '_mphb_booking_internal_notes' meta field.
