Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-5465 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ameliabooking Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5465/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5465/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-5465","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5465/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-5465","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3wcx-px3j-79f4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated employees can escalate privileges to Administrator by manipulating the externalId parameter in the Amelia plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This is due to the `UpdateProviderCommandHandler` failing to validate changes to the `externalId` field when a Provider (Employee) user updates their own profile. The `externalId` maps directly to a WordPress user ID and is passed to `wp_set_password()` and `wp_update_user()` without authorization checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Provider-level (Employee) access and above, to take over any WordPress account — including Administrator — by injecting an arbitrary `externalId` value when updating their own provider profile.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-04-07","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-04-07T13:59:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kaleth4/CVE-2026-5465","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia","id":"CVE-2026-5465","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"wc_VerifyEccsiHash missing sanity check","id":"CVE-2026-5466"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in ExactMetrics – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (Website Stats Plugin)","id":"CVE-2026-5464"},"products":["Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia"],"published":"2026-04-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-08","vendors":["ameliabooking"]},"summary":"Authenticated employees can escalate privileges to Administrator by manipulating the externalId parameter in the Amelia plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5465/"}
