CVE-2026-77689 Details
Description
The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin before 9.8.1 does not verify that a payment was actually taken before recording a booking as paid, trusting the payment gateway named in a public, unauthenticated booking request even when the site has never configured that gateway. This lets an unauthenticated attacker obtain confirmed, fully paid appointments and events without any payment being collected.
A vulnerability exists in the Amelia Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 9.8.1. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify that a payment has been received before marking a booking as paid. It relies on the payment gateway specified in an unauthenticated booking request, even if that gateway has not been configured on the site. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to secure confirmed, fully paid appointments and events without any actual payment being made.
Users are advised to update the Amelia Booking WordPress plugin to version 9.8.1 or later.
