CVE-2026-7652
LatePoint <= 5.5.0 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover via Weak Password Recovery Mechanism
Description
The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Account Takeover via Weak Password Recovery Mechanism in the unauthenticated guest booking flow in versions up to, and including, 5.5.0 This is due to the save_connected_wordpress_user() function propagating a LatePoint customer's email address to its linked WordPress user account via wp_update_user() without any ownership verification, combined with the guest booking flow's ability to overwrite an existing customer's email through phone-based merge without authentication. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the email address of a non-super-admin WordPress user account that is not yet linked to a LatePoint customer, enabling full account takeover by subsequently triggering the standard WordPress password-reset flow to the attacker-controlled address granted the plugin is configured with WordPress user integration enabled, phone-based contact merging, and customer authentication disabled. Administrator accounts on single-site installs are not affected.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: plugin de WordPress LatePoint, Description: El plugin LatePoint para WordPress es vulnerable a la toma de control de cuentas a través de un mecanismo débil de recuperación de contraseña en el flujo de reserva de invitados no autenticados en versiones hasta la 5.5.0, inclusive. Esto se debe a que la función save_connected_wordpress_user() propaga la dirección de correo electrónico de un cliente de LatePoint a su cuenta de usuario de WordPress vinculada a través de wp_update_user() sin ninguna verificación de propiedad, combinado con la capacidad del flujo de reserva de invitados de sobrescribir el correo electrónico de un cliente existente mediante la fusión basada en teléfono sin autenticación. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados sobrescriban la dirección de correo electrónico de una cuenta de usuario de WordPress que no sea superadministrador y que aún no esté vinculada a un cliente de LatePoint, lo que permite la toma de control total de la cuenta al activar posteriormente el flujo estándar de restablecimiento de contraseña de WordPress a la dirección controlada por el atacante, siempre que el plugin esté configurado con la integración de usuarios de WordPress habilitada, la fusión de contactos basada en teléfono y la autenticación de clientes deshabilitada. Las cuentas de administrador en instalaciones de sitio único no se ven afectadas. -
