Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under Awesome Hotel Booking.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
• No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

1. Update to version 1.0.4, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch Awesome Hotel Booking to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Itthidej Aramsri (Boeing777).

The Awesome Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to incorrect authorization in the room-single.php shortcode handler in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to the plugin relying solely on nonce verification without capability checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify arbitrary booking records by obtaining a nonce from the public booking form.
