CVE-2026-12111 — Appointment Booking Calendar security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 4.3

The Appointment Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 1.4.01. This is due to insufficient authorization and missing per-calendar ownership checks in the cpabc_appointments_calendar_load2() function, which is reachable via the cpabc_calendar_load2=1 query parameter in wp-admin and only checks is_admin() && current_user_can('edit_posts'), a capability available to Contributor-level users and above. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to supply an arbitrary calendar ID via the id parameter and extract customer booking information, including email addresses, names, phone numbers, booking times, and comments, from any calendar managed by the plugin.

Matched remediation archetype

Information disclosure and sensitive data exposure

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace sensitive data through responses, errors, logs, metrics, traces, caches, exports, files, backups, and client bundles.
  • Identify affected subjects, tenants, retention windows, access controls, and downstream copies without opening unnecessary sensitive records.
  • Review metadata, timing, status, length, and existence signals as well as direct content disclosure.

Remediate safely

  • Minimize collection and output, apply field-level authorization and redaction at a centralized boundary, and return generic external errors.
  • Remove secrets and sensitive data from logs, artifacts, URLs, caches, and client-side bundles; rotate credentials that may have been exposed.
  • Update the affected component and add synthetic-data tests for response, error, observability, and export paths.
