CVE-2026-12111 — Appointment Booking Calendar <= 1.4.01 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Exposure via 'id' Parameter
The Appointment Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 1.4.01. This is due to insufficient authorization and missing per-calendar ownership checks in the cpabc_appointments_calendar_load2() function, which is reachable via the cpabc_calendar_load2=1 query parameter in wp-admin and only checks is_admin() && current_user_can('edit_posts'), a capability available to Contributor-level users and above. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to supply an arbitrary calendar ID via the id parameter and extract customer booking information, including email addresses, names, phone numbers, booking times, and comments, from any calendar managed by the plugin.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.3% (30-day exploitation probability)+3
- Technical severity (medium)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Codepeople Appointment Booking Calendar).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Look for anomalous data read/export volumes and access to sensitive records.
