MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires Appointment Booking Calendar - Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin for WordPress versions up to 1.6.10.0 to be installed and activated. Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit SQL injection via the 'fields' parameter. No user interaction required. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates a remotely exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction, resulting in high confidentiality impact. The unauthenticated attack vector significantly increases risk, as any internet-facing WordPress site running the vulnerable plugin can be targeted without credentials. The vulnerability allows extraction of password hashes which could lead to account compromise if weak hashing is used or passwords are cracked offline. While EPSS scores and KEV inclusion status were not provided in the intelligence data, the combination of unauthenticated remote exploitation, low complexity, and the ability to extract credentials makes this a genuine priority for remediation. The availability of public code references in the WordPress plugin repository may facilitate proof-of-concept development, further elevating the risk of active exploitation attempts against WordPress sites using this popular booking plugin. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker scans WordPress sites for the vulnerable Simply Schedule Appointments plugin using automated tools that identify the plugin's presence through publicly accessible WordPress REST API endpoints or HTML signatures. The attacker crafts malicious HTTP requests containing SQL injection payloads in the 'fields' parameter, using UNION-based or boolean-based blind SQL injection techniques to systematically extract database contents including wp_users table data with administrator credentials and password hashes. With extracted password hashes, the attacker performs offline cracking using rainbow tables or GPU-accelerated tools, potentially gaining full administrative access to the WordPress site for further malicious activities such as installing backdoors, defacing content, or hosting phishing pages. |

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin for WordPress, allowing unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database information including usernames, email addresses, and password hashes through the insufficiently sanitized 'fields' parameter. All versions up to and including 1.6.10.0 are affected. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 with network-based exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction, making it a significant risk for WordPress sites using this booking plugin.
RemediationAI
Update the Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin to a version newer than 1.6.10.0 that includes the security fix referenced in changeset 3485143, available at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3485143/. WordPress administrators should immediately check their installed version through the WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins and apply available updates. Until patching is completed, consider temporarily disabling the plugin if appointment booking functionality is not business-critical, or implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to filter suspicious SQL injection patterns in the 'fields' parameter. Review WordPress database user permissions to ensure the principle of least privilege is enforced, limiting potential data exposure. After patching, review database logs for any suspicious query activity that may indicate prior exploitation attempts and consider forcing password resets for administrative accounts if compromise is suspected.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin for WordPress, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:croixhaug:appointment_booking_calendar_—_simply_schedule_appointments_booking_plugin. The root cause is CWE-89 (SQL Injection), stemming from inadequate input validation and parameterization in the plugin's database query construction. Based on the references to the WordPress plugin repository, the vulnerable code paths include class-td-db-model.php (line 1171), class-td-api-model.php (line 140), and class-appointment-type-model.php (line 907), where the 'fields' parameter is processed without proper escaping or prepared statement usage. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands that are executed against the WordPress database, enabling unauthorized data access through boolean-based blind SQL injection or UNION-based techniques.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Appointment Booking Calendar - Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'fields' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.10.0 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, including usernames, email addresses, and password hashes.
Executive ViewAI
A critical SQL injection vulnerability in the Simply Schedule Appointments booking plugin exposes WordPress sites to unauthorized database access, potentially compromising customer personal information, credentials, and business data. Any organization using this plugin is at immediate risk of data breach and must take urgent action to prevent exploitation.
Until patch availability: (1) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules blocking SQL injection patterns in the 'fields' parameter; (2) Disable the booking plugin entirely and use alternative service; (3) Restrict database user privileges to read-only for non-essential operations; (4) Enable database activity monitoring and alerting for suspicious queries; (5) Isolate affected WordPress instances from production environments; (6) Implement rate limiting on the vulnerable endpoint; (7) Monitor for CVE-2026-3658 exploitation attempts in logs.
