AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14214 is an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.4.4. The flaw arises because the plugin does not restrict which fields can be written during the customer import process. As a result, a user with the Amelia Manager role can supply arbitrary columns in the import request to modify any stored user record fields. This could lead to unauthorized data modification within the plugin's user database.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows users with the Amelia Manager role to modify arbitrary user record fields, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in user data. There is no indication of confidentiality or availability impact. The CVSS score is low (2.7), reflecting limited impact and requiring high privileges (Amelia Manager role) to exploit.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level is currently stated. Users should upgrade to version 2.4.4 or later once available, as the vulnerability affects versions prior to 2.4.4. Until then, restrict the assignment of the Amelia Manager role to trusted users only to limit potential exploitation.
