Summary
CVE-2026-14364 is an unauthenticated account takeover vulnerability in the TrueBooker – Appointment Booking and Scheduler System plugin for WordPress (vendor themetechmount), affecting all versions up to and including 1.2.3. The plugin fails to properly validate a user’s identity before resetting their password, allowing attackers to seize arbitrary accounts, including administrators. It carries a CRITICAL CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8.
Technical details
- Root cause: The plugin does not properly validate a user’s identity before resetting their password (CWE-640: Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password).
- Trigger conditions: No authentication required; an attacker abuses the plugin’s password reset flow to set a new password on a targeted account.
- Attack vector: Network — remotely exploitable over HTTP/HTTPS against an internet-facing WordPress site running the plugin.
- Impact: Attackers can reset the password of arbitrary user accounts, including administrators, and gain full access to those accounts, leading to complete site compromise.
Affected software
- TrueBooker – Appointment Booking and Scheduler System for WordPress: all versions up to and including 1.2.3.
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 base score: 9.8 (CRITICAL)
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Update the TrueBooker plugin to a fixed release later than 1.2.3 (the fix was published in the plugin’s source changeset following 1.2.3). Apply the latest available version.
- If no patch can be applied: Deactivate and remove the plugin until it can be updated. Restrict access to the site’s front end and login/password-reset endpoints via a WAF or network controls, and audit user accounts for unexpected password changes or new administrator accounts.
