Description
The LatePoint WordPress plugin before 5.7.5 does not validate the client-supplied value that determines how much is charged for a booking against the amounts the service and site actually allow, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to make the amount due resolve to zero and obtain a confirmed appointment and a recorded order without completing any payment.

AI Analysis

Impact

The LatePoint WordPress plugin fails to validate the client‑supplied payment_portion value that determines how much a customer pays for a booking. An attacker can set this value to zero, causing the system to record a confirmed appointment and an order without any money being transferred. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to acquire services for free and generate revenue loss for the site owner.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation running LatePoint before version 5.7.5 is vulnerable. Sites that have installed the earlier release of the plugin are potentially exposed and can process unauthorized bookings if the flaw is exploited.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.3, the vulnerability is rated medium severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, indicating a low probability that this bug will be actively abused. It is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack requires no authentication and relies only on manipulating a publicly accessible input field, granting attackers easy exploitation once an old plugin version exists on a live site.
