CVE-2026-7493 PUBLISHED

Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin <= 1.6.11.5 - Unauthenticated Denial of Service

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 30.04.2026 Published: 27.05.2026 Updated: 27.05.2026

The Appointment Booking Calendar — Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to denial of service in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.11.5. This is due to a publicly accessible REST API endpoint (/wp-json/ssa/v1/async) that calls PHP's sleep() function on a user-supplied delay parameter without any rate limiting. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to exhaust PHP worker processes, denying access to the site to legitimate users.
