Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 4 Mar 2026
Detectable: evidence found.
nuclei template: WPBookit <= 1.0.8 - Unauthenticated Customer Information Disclosure
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the affected API route by implementing custom authorization controls or disabling the 'get_customer_list' route if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches promptly once available.

Description

The WPBookit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data disclosure due to a missing authorization check on the 'get_customer_list' route in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive customer information including names, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, and gender.

Impact

An attacker can remotely access sensitive customer information without authentication, potentially leading to privacy violations and unauthorized data exposure. The compromised data includes personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, and gender. There is no indication of impact on system integrity or availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild to date.

Summary

CVE-2026-1980 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in the WPBookit plugin for WordPress by iqonicdesign. The issue arises from a missing authorization check on the 'get_customer_list' API route, which permits unauthenticated users to retrieve sensitive customer information. This affects all versions up to and including 1.0.8. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (medium severity), with an attack vector of network (remote), no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability.

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
