CVE-2026-118066 Details
Description
The Appointment Booking Plugin – LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.6. This is due to the `OsModel::build_conditions_query()` function in `lib/models/model.php` comparing WHERE-clause values against the literal strings `'IS NULL'` and `'IS NOT NULL'` and concatenating a match directly into SQL without binding it as a parameter, a flaw that neither `sanitize_text_field()` nor the 5.7.5 `is_scalar()` hardening guard closes, since both pass the scalar sentinel through unchanged. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send `params[password_reset_token]=IS NOT NULL` to the public `customer_cabinet__change_password` AJAX route to match every non-null `account_nonse` value, resolving to the lowest-id customer and overwriting that customer's password to an attacker-chosen value — granting full access to their bookings, orders, and PII, and, when the `wp_users_as_customers` option is enabled, takeover of the linked WordPress subscriber or customer-role account. The attacker can first identify the target customer's email by sending `params[order_intent_key]=IS NOT NULL` to the public `steps__start_from_order_intent` route, which returns the name and email from the first matching order intent, and can then self-arm the required 15-minute password-reset freshness window by triggering a reset for that customer directly.
A vulnerability allowing authentication bypass and account takeover has been identified in the Appointment Booking Plugin - LatePoint for WordPress, affecting all versions through 5.7.6. The issue arises in the 'OsModel::build_conditions_query()' function within 'lib/models/model.php', where WHERE-clause values are compared against the strings 'IS NULL' and 'IS NOT NULL'. This comparison is improperly handled, allowing unauthenticated attackers to manipulate SQL queries and reset passwords for customers, thereby gaining access to their bookings, orders, and personal information. If the 'wp_users_as_customers' option is enabled, this also includes takeover of the associated WordPress subscriber or customer account.
Users are advised to update the Appointment Booking Plugin - LatePoint to version 5.7.7 or a newer patched version.
