CVE-2026-2520
MediumCVSS 5.4Summary
The Bookly plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data modification due to a missing capability check in the 'updateAddon' function in all versions up to and including 27.2. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to update any plugin with a main file of 'main.php' to its latest version.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can unauthorizedly update plugins, potentially introducing incompatible versions or exploiting vulnerabilities in newer versions. This may compromise site integrity and availability.
Recommendation
Update the Bookly plugin to the latest patched version. Also, restrict user privileges to the minimum and monitor plugin activity.
Other vulnerabilities in Bookly
See all- CVE-2026-89063High
The Online Scheduling and Appointment Booking System – Bookly plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 28.1 is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference via the 'conversation_id' parameter due to missing validation on a user-controlled key. This allows unauthenticated attackers to read the full AI booking conversation transcript of any customer — leaking names, email addresses, phone numbers, and appointment details — and inject arbitrary messages into any victim conversation. Because AI conversations are stored with no owner, user, or session identifier and conversation IDs are sequential integers, an unauthenticated attacker can enumerate all customer conversations by incrementing the conversation_id parameter.
- CVE-2026-61944High
The Bookly plugin up to version 27.7 contains an unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can inject a malicious script that executes in the victim's browser.

- CVE-2026-12905Medium
The Bookly plugin for WordPress up to version 27.7 is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in the appointment() method of the Mobile Staff Cabinet API. The handler loads an Appointment by the attacker-supplied id without verifying that the appointment's staff_id matches the authenticated staff member. Authenticated attackers with staff-level mobile cabinet access can read appointment details of other staff members, including internal notes and customer data, by enumerating sequential IDs.
- CVE-2026-42667High
