CVE-2026-9055 is an improper privilege-management vulnerability in the Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia (Premium) WordPress plugin versions 8.0 through 9.6.2. The customer-update endpoint insufficiently validates an attacker-controlled type parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can set the externalId value to 0 and cause creation of a WordPress account assigned the Amelia manager role. From that role, the attacker can create a provider entity linked to an existing administrator user identifier and overwrite the associated administrator account password.
