Who should care
Users of Easy!Appointments versions up to 1.5.2, particularly those managing customer appointments, should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to protect their customers' data by upgrading to version 1.6.0 or later and implementing additional security measures.
Technical summary
The booking reschedule view at `/index.php/booking/reschedule/{appointment_hash}` in Easy!Appointments versions up to 1.5.2 embeds the entire customer record as inline JavaScript without authentication or field whitelisting. This allows anyone with the 12-character `appointment_hash` to read every column of the corresponding customer's row in the `ea_users` table. The vulnerability is addressed in version 1.6.0.
Defensive priority
Medium
Recommended defensive actions
- Upgrade to version 1.6.0 or later
- Limit access to appointment hashes

- Implement additional security measures to protect customer data
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
