Technical details

The vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the bulk appointments REST API endpoint of the Simply Schedule Appointments plugin due to insufficient authorization checks. The plugin relies on a public nonce that is static and user-independent, which can be extracted from the HTML source of any page using the [ssa_booking] shortcode. An unauthenticated attacker can use this nonce to interact with the REST API to modify appointment fields (such as PII, payment status, and meeting URLs) or retrieve full customer PII from existing records via the endpoint response. The issue affects all versions up to and including 1.6.11.8.
