AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15250 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the Appointment Booking Plugin for WordPress. Versions prior to 5.6.8 do not restrict which booking fields unauthenticated users can set, allowing them to assign privileged fields like approval status.
