CVE-2026-100163 Details
Description
The Appointment Booking Plugin – LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to, and including, 5.7.2 via the OsCustomerHelper::create_wp_user_for_customer() helper reached from the public process_step_customer() booking step. When the 'Use WordPress users as customers' option is enabled, the helper falls back from email_exists() to username_exists( $customer->email ), which matches any WordPress user whose user_login equals the victim customer's email even when that user's user_email is completely different, and links that WordPress user's ID into the victim's LatePoint customer row (only privileged roles are excluded; Subscriber is allowed). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to take over another customer's LatePoint account — accessing their bookings, service, agent, and calendar data, and having the victim customer's email overwritten with the attacker's on next login — by holding a Subscriber account whose user_login equals the victim's email and submitting an unauthenticated public booking step registration request.
A vulnerability allowing authentication bypass has been identified in the Appointment Booking Plugin - LatePoint for WordPress, affecting versions through 5.7.2. The issue arises in the OsCustomerHelper::create_wp_user_for_customer() function, which is accessed via the public process_step_customer() booking step. When the 'Use WordPress users as customers' option is activated, the function improperly verifies customer emails by falling back to a username check. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to take over another customer's LatePoint account. Exploitation involves using a Subscriber account with a user_login that matches the victim's email, and submitting an unauthenticated public booking step registration request. Successful exploitation grants access to the victim's bookings, service, agent, and calendar data, and overwrites the victim's email with the attacker's email on the next login.
Users are advised to update the Appointment Booking Plugin - LatePoint to version 5.7.3 or a newer patched version.
