DescriptionCVE.org

The Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin before 1.6.12.17 does not restrict the user records returned by some of its REST endpoints to those the requester is entitled to see, allowing users with a low-privileged staff role to disclose the names and email addresses of arbitrary registered users.

AnalysisAI

Unauthorized user enumeration in the Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin before 1.6.12.17 allows authenticated staff-role users to retrieve names and email addresses of all registered users via insufficiently scoped REST API endpoints. The vulnerability stems from missing authorization checks that should limit returned user records to those the requester is permitted to view. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS sits at 0.14% (4th percentile), indicating low exploitation probability, though the confidentiality impact is rated High due to unrestricted PII exposure.

Technical ContextAI

Simply Schedule Appointments is a WordPress scheduling plugin that exposes REST API endpoints for appointment and user management. The affected code paths fail to apply role-based scoping to query results, implementing CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). Rather than filtering returned user records to those the requesting staff-role user is entitled to see, the endpoints return data for arbitrary registered WordPress accounts. The CVSS vector AV:N/PR:L confirms these are network-accessible endpoints requiring only low-privileged authentication, consistent with a REST API design where authorization enforcement is absent at the data layer. Affected versions span all releases from 0 up to (but not including) 1.6.12.17 per EUVD-2026-59589.

RemediationAI

Update Simply Schedule Appointments to version 1.6.12.17 or later, which introduces the missing authorization scoping on the affected REST endpoints. The vendor-released patch is confirmed available per WPScan advisory https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/8172f778-5dc5-49e8-9967-81215ac187d7/. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict assignment of the staff role exclusively to fully trusted internal users, as any staff-role account can be leveraged for exploitation. WordPress administrators may also consider restricting REST API access at the web server or firewall level to internal networks only, though this may impair legitimate scheduling functionality and should be tested before deployment. There are no known significant side effects from applying the vendor patch.
