Subscriber-level settings access via unchecked menu routing
Published May 10, 2024 · Updated Mar 14, 2025
Improper authorization in E4J VikBooking before 1.6.8 allows remote authenticated users to access restricted plugin settings. Administrative routing accepts option=com_vikbooking with config or orders task values and serves those menus without the expected capability check. Subscriber privileges are sufficient, permitting unauthorized access to configuration and order-management interfaces without a reported availability impact.
