The advisory

The Appointment Booking Plugin WordPress plugin before 5.7.3 does not verify that the caller owns the order referenced by an order-item identifier before rendering that order's confirmation summary, letting an unauthenticated visitor retrieve any customer's name, contact details and order confirmation code by supplying a sequential order-item id.
