Unauthenticated account takeover via unchecked business claims
Published Sep 19, 2025 · Updated Sep 19, 2025
Authorization bypass in Aonetheme Service Finder Bookings 6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over WordPress accounts. The claim_business AJAX action accepts a user-controlled claim_id without properly validating the claimant's identity, then logs the claimant in as the account tied to that business. A valid claim_id is required; remote attackers can obtain one through subscriber access or practical brute force, and an administrator identifier yields full site control.
