Unauthorized booking creation via invalid nonce acceptance
Published Oct 31, 2023 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in EventPrime before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to create unwanted bookings through a logged-in user. The ep_save_event_booking AJAX action accepts booking data even when ep_save_event_booking_nonce contains an invalid value. Exploitation requires a logged-in user to submit an attacker-crafted form, and the resulting integrity impact is limited to unauthorized booking creation.
