VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS <= 1.8.13 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'category_id' Parameter

The VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'category_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This is limited to browsers that support access keys as the injection is in a hidden element.

How to fix it

CVE-2026-15346 affects VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS and involves cross-site scripting. Successful exploitation may run attacker-controlled script in a trusted user's browser and expose session or application data. Treat this as a high-priority fix, especially when the affected component or endpoint is reachable by untrusted users. Upgrade VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS to 1.8.14 or a later vendor-supported fixed release.

  1. Inventory every deployment, device, package, plugin, container, build, and environment that uses VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS.
  2. Compare the installed version with the recorded affected range: <= 1.8.13, *-1.8.13.
  3. Upgrade VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS to 1.8.14 or a later vendor-supported fixed release.
  4. Until patched, disable the affected VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS feature or plugin and restrict its public and administrator endpoints.
  5. Review configuration, roles, tokens, network paths, and exposed endpoints connected to VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS; remove access that is not required.
  6. Review submissions, stored content, administrator activity, CSP reports, and web logs for script payloads or suspicious browser requests.
  7. If exploitation is suspected, isolate affected assets, preserve evidence, rotate exposed credentials or keys, restore trusted data, and rebuild compromised systems before returning them to service.
