Is Hydra Booking — Appointment Scheduling & Booking Calendar Safe to Use in 2026?
Mostly Safe
Score 83/100Hydra Booking — Appointment Scheduling & Booking Calendar is generally safe to use. 12 past CVEs were resolved.
The "hydra-booking" plugin v1.1.40 presents a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices in areas like prepared statement usage for SQL queries (79%) and output escaping (95%), significant concerns remain. The presence of 18 AJAX handlers, with 3 lacking authorization checks, opens a substantial attack surface. Furthermore, the taint analysis revealed one high-severity flow with unsanitized paths, indicating potential for unauthorized data access or modification. The plugin's history of 8 known CVEs, including a past critical and high severity vulnerability, despite no currently unpatched issues, suggests a recurring pattern of security weaknesses. The types of past vulnerabilities, such as Improper Privilege Management and SQL Injection, align with the observed lack of authorization checks and potential for taint flow issues. The last vulnerability in 2026 is also concerning for a plugin of this version.
Key Concerns
- AJAX handlers without auth checks
- High severity taint flow
- Previous critical CVEs
- Previous high severity CVEs
- Dangerous functions (unserialize)
- Unsanitized paths in taint analysis
