CVE-2026-2262 — Easy Appointments security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.5

The Easy Appointments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.12.21 via the `/wp-json/wp/v2/eablocks/ea_appointments/` REST API endpoint. This is due to the endpoint being registered with `'permission_callback' => '__return_true'`, which allows access without any authentication or authorization checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive customer appointment data including full names, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, appointment descriptions, and pricing information.

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.
