WP BASE Booking, a WordPress booking plugin, up to and including version 6.5.2 lets a low-privilege Subscriber account gain higher privileges. An attacker with a basic site account could take control of the site's administrative functions.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed WP BASE Booking plugin version in the WordPress admin under Plugins.
- Look for `wp-base-booking` or the plugin's folder in `wp-content/plugins/`.
