The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia (Premium) plugin for WordPress versions 8.0 - 9.6.2 is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to insufficient validation of the 'type' parameter in the customer update endpoint. This allows customers to set their role to 'manager' and trigger creation of a WordPress user with the wpamelia-manager role when 'externalId' is set to 0. Unauthenticated attackers can escalate to administrator by first elevating to manager, then creating a provider entity linked to an administrator user ID and overwriting that administrator's password.

WWBN AVideo fails to validate password recovery token expiration in userRecoverPassSave.json.php, allowing attackers to use expired tokens to reset account passwords indefinitely. Attackers who obtain a recovery token can use it at any time to change the target account's password and gain full account access.
- CVE-2026-84479Critical
WWBN AVideo (current e01e41ecc and earlier) makes three login-time security controls depend solely on the client-supplied User-Agent header. The isAVideoEncoder()/isAVideoMobileApp() checks match HTTP_USER_AGENT against a hardcoded literal ("AVideoEncoder"/"AVideoMobileApp") with no IP check or shared secret. An attacker who submits valid credentials and sets User-Agent: AVideoEncoder bypasses two-factor authentication, skips brute-force captcha escalation, and avoids being recorded in the login/device audit history. No patch is available at the time of publication.
- CVE-2026-84372Critical
Predis, a Redis and Valkey client for PHP, versions 3.0.0-RC1 through 3.3.0, improperly processes the RESP buffer in aggregate connections, allowing an attacker to inject additional commands via keys or values containing CRLF sequences. This can lead to shard-wide cache deletion, targeted data modification, data reads, or node disruption. Only pipeline() is affected; transactions are not vulnerable. Fixed in version 3.3.0.
