CVE-2026-13400 Details
Description
Simply Schedule Appointments is vulnerable to unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to and including 1.6.12.2. The root cause is a sanitization-ordering defect: the rendered notification content is decoded back into live HTML after it has already passed through the Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin before 1.6.12.4's wp_kses_post() filter, so a double-encoded payload survives intake and is reintroduced as an executable element at render time.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin, affecting all versions prior to 1.6.12.4. The issue arises from a flaw in the order of content sanitization. Notification content is decoded back into HTML after being processed by the plugin's wp_kses_post() filter, allowing a double-encoded payload to bypass sanitization and be executed when rendered.
Users are advised to update the Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin to version 1.6.12.4 or later.
