CVE-2025-68052 Overview
CVE-2025-68052 is an unauthenticated Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the Eagle Booking WordPress plugin in versions up to and including 1.3.4.3. The flaw is classified under CWE-352 and allows attackers to force authenticated users to perform unwanted state-changing actions on the WordPress site. Exploitation requires user interaction, typically by luring a logged-in administrator to click a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled page. Successful attacks can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress installation.
Critical Impact
Attackers can trigger privileged actions in the Eagle Booking plugin by tricking authenticated users into loading a crafted request, leading to full compromise of plugin-managed data.
Affected Products
- Eagle Booking WordPress plugin versions <= 1.3.4.3
- WordPress installations with Eagle Booking installed and activated
- Sites where administrators or privileged users can be induced to visit external content

Technical Details for CVE-2025-68052
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability exists in the Eagle Booking WordPress plugin through version 1.3.4.3. The plugin fails to implement adequate CSRF protection on one or more state-changing endpoints. WordPress provides a nonce mechanism through wp_nonce_field() and check_admin_referer() to prevent cross-origin request forgery, but the affected handlers either omit nonce validation or verify tokens incorrectly.
Because the request can be forged without authentication material from the attacker, any authenticated victim who visits an attacker-controlled page will submit the malicious request under their own session. The plugin then processes the request as if it were a legitimate administrative action.
The CVSS vector indicates the impact extends to all three security properties. An attacker can modify booking configuration, inject content, or disrupt plugin functionality depending on which endpoints lack protection.
Root Cause
The root cause is missing or improper CSRF token validation on privileged request handlers within the Eagle Booking plugin. Requests are processed based solely on the presence of a valid WordPress session cookie, which browsers automatically attach to cross-site requests.
Attack Vector
Exploitation occurs over the network and requires user interaction. An attacker crafts an HTML page containing a form or JavaScript payload that submits a request to the vulnerable Eagle Booking endpoint. When an authenticated WordPress user visits the attacker's page, the browser sends the request with the victim's session cookies. The Eagle Booking plugin executes the action without verifying that the request originated from the WordPress admin interface. Refer to the Patchstack Vulnerability Report for technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-68052
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected changes to Eagle Booking configuration, reservations, or associated WordPress options
- HTTP POST requests to Eagle Booking plugin endpoints with Referer headers pointing to external or unrelated domains
- Administrative actions in WordPress audit logs that do not correlate with legitimate admin browser sessions
Detection Strategies
- Inspect web server access logs for requests to /wp-admin/admin.php, /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, or /wp-admin/admin-post.php targeting Eagle Booking actions with off-site Referer values
- Compare WordPress activity logs against expected administrator workflows to identify unauthorized changes
- Deploy a web application firewall rule that requires a valid wp_nonce parameter on Eagle Booking POST endpoints
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable a WordPress audit logging plugin to record all plugin configuration changes with source IP and referer metadata
- Alert on any Eagle Booking administrative request lacking a _wpnonce or _ajax_nonce parameter
- Monitor for outbound phishing or watering-hole campaigns that target site administrators through email security telemetry
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-68052
Immediate Actions Required
- Update the Eagle Booking plugin to a version newer than 1.3.4.3 once the vendor releases a patched build
- Deactivate and remove the Eagle Booking plugin if a fixed version is not yet available and the booking functionality is not business-critical
- Force logout of all active WordPress administrator sessions and rotate credentials for privileged users
Patch Information
At the time of publication, no fixed version is listed in the NVD entry. Consult the Patchstack Vulnerability Report and the plugin author's changelog for the latest patched release.
Workarounds
- Restrict access to the WordPress admin interface by IP allowlist at the web server or firewall layer
- Require administrators to use a separate browser profile for WordPress management to reduce cross-site request exposure
- Deploy a web application firewall with virtual patching rules that enforce nonce validation and same-origin Referer checks on Eagle Booking endpoints
