What is CVE-2026-18315?

The TrueBooker Appointment Booking and Scheduler System plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to bypass authentication controls. This occurs due to the lack of checks in the admin_user_create_cus AJAX handler, which accepts an attacker-controlled truebooker_wp_user_id parameter without proper validation. As a result, an attacker can modify the email address of any WordPress user, potentially including administrators. This vulnerability could lead to a complete account takeover through the standard WordPress lost-password process.

Affected Version(s)

TrueBooker – Appointment Booking and Scheduler System 0 <= 1.2.6

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
