Description
The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'booking_form_page_url' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The malicious activity log entry is written to the database even when Stripe is not configured, because the latepoint_order_intent_created action hook fires before the Stripe Connect account ID is validated, meaning a fully functional Stripe integration is not required for exploitation.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can insert arbitrary script code into the booking_form_page_url parameter of the LatePoint plugin. Because the input is neither sanitized nor properly escaped before being written to the database, the malicious script is stored and executed whenever a user views the page that references the injected URL. The flaw satisfies the weakness identified as CWE‑79 and can be used to compromise the confidentiality and integrity of user interactions with the website, including session hijacking and defacement of content.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites running LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events version 5.5.0 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability exists in every release up to and including 5.5.0; later releases are believed to contain mitigations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score for the flaw is 7.2, indicating a high severity. EPSS information is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Attackers do not need prior authentication or any special permissions; any user who can access the vulnerable parameter can inject the payload. Because the injection point is stored in the database, the compromise persists until the entry is removed or the plugin is updated. The lack of a required plugin configuration for exploitation (Stripe integration is optional) further lowers the barrier to attack.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the LatePoint plugin to a version newer than 5.5.0.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, intercept the booking_form_page_url parameter in the request handling code and apply strict output escaping or reject the value after validating against a whitelist of legitimate URLs.
  • Add a server‑side validation step to ensure that all user‑supplied URLs are properly sanitized before being stored or rendered, thereby eliminating further opportunities for script injection.
