CVE-2025-5947
The Service Finder Bookings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The Service Finder Bookings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's cookie value prior to logging them in through the service_finder_switch_back() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to login as any user including admins.
