Easy Booked – Appointment Booking and Scheduling Management System for WordPress Security & Risk Analysis

The 'easy-booked' plugin v2.4.11 exhibits a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices in areas like SQL query preparation (93%) and output escaping (91%), a significant concern arises from its large attack surface, with 22 out of 27 entry points lacking authentication checks. This makes many functionalities susceptible to unauthorized access and manipulation.

Taint analysis reveals a notable number of flows with unsanitized paths, with 8 classified as high severity. These flows, combined with the unprotected AJAX handlers, suggest potential for injection vulnerabilities or unauthorized data access. The presence of file operations and external HTTP requests further increases the potential for exploitation if these are not handled securely within the unsanitized paths.

The plugin's vulnerability history, though showing no currently unpatched CVEs, includes a past medium-severity CSRF vulnerability. This pattern indicates a history of security weaknesses, and while the most recent vulnerability is addressed, the overall trend suggests a need for continued vigilance. The strengths in prepared statements and output escaping are commendable, but the significant number of unprotected entry points and high-severity taint flows are major weaknesses that warrant attention and remediation.
