High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-16540

NVD analysis in progress

The Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin before 1.6.12.6 does not correctly restrict a bulk appointment operation to the requester's own records, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the personal data of all appointments across the site and, on premium editions, to permanently delete them.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data.
Weakness
An authorisation check exists but its logic is wrong.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
