CVE-2026-7797
HighSummary
The Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'append_where_sql' parameter in all versions up to and including 1.6.11.8. The issue arises from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied parameter and lack of proper preparation of the existing SQL query.
Risk Assessment
Unauthenticated attackers can append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially leading to the leakage of sensitive information from the database. Exploiting this vulnerability may threaten the integrity and confidentiality of the organization's data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the plugin to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, conducting a security audit of the application and restricting access to REST endpoints is advisable.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'append_where_sql' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.11.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The /appointments/bulk REST endpoint is reachable by unauthenticated attackers because its permission check accepts a public nonce that is embedded in the booking widget's frontend JavaScript (ssa.api.public_nonce) and visible to all site visitors; exploitation requires issuing the request as a PUT with an application/x-www-form-urlencoded body so that PHP's superglobals are not populated and the blocklist check silently passes.
