CVE-2026-40795 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-06-15

The Amelia plugin for WordPress, which is used for managing automated bookings and appointments, contains a security flaw that allows users with low-level 'Subscriber' accounts to perform actions they should not be authorized to do. This could allow an attacker to modify booking data or settings, potentially disrupting business operations and appointment scheduling. Organizations using this plugin should update to version 2.2.1 immediately to prevent unauthorized changes to their booking system.
