CVE-2026-7457 Details
Description
The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to and including 5.5.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization on the customer cabinet profile update endpoint — where raw POST parameters (first_name, last_name, phone, notes) bypass sanitization because OsCustomerModel does not override params_to_sanitize(), causing set_data() to store unsanitized values verbatim in the database — combined with insufficient output escaping in generate_preview(), which injects those stored values into notification template HTML via str_replace() without any esc_html() call before echoing the result. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with customer-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts into the admin notification preview panel that execute in an administrator's or agent's browser whenever a notification template referencing customer variables such as {{customer_full_name}}, {{customer_first_name}}, {{customer_last_name}}, {{customer_phone}}, or {{customer_notes}} is previewed.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the LatePoint WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 5.5.0. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization on the customer cabinet profile update endpoint. Raw POST parameters such as first_name, last_name, phone, and notes bypass sanitization because the OsCustomerModel does not properly override the params_to_sanitize() method. This oversight allows unsanitized data to be saved directly into the database. Additionally, the output escaping in the generate_preview() function is insufficient, as it injects these unsanitized values into the notification template HTML using str_replace() without any prior escaping. Consequently, authenticated attackers with customer-level access or higher can inject arbitrary scripts into the admin notification preview panel. These scripts execute in the browser of an administrator or agent when a notification template that references certain customer variables is previewed.
Users are advised to update the LatePoint WordPress plugin to version 5.5.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
