High CVSS 8.1

CVE-2026-8789

The Easy Appointments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification on the `ea_delete_multiple_connections` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.12.27. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary connection records from the `wp_ea_connections` table, disrupting the plugin's core booking functionality.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
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.
