MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated subscriber-level (or higher) account on the target site, so exploitation depends on the site permitting self-registration or otherwise granting low-privilege accounts. The attacker must be able to reach the customer_cabinet__update route to write a template placeholder (e.g. {{customer_admin_notes}}) into their own first_name field, then invoke the LatePoint password-reset/notification email flow that renders customer fields through the vulnerable replacer_helper. Limiting factors: authentication is mandatory (not remote-unauthenticated), the leak is confined to data exposed in rendered LatePoint notification emails, and it only affects installations running LatePoint versions up to and including 5.7.3; the attacker only receives data to an address they control rather than achieving code execution or data modification. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a critical emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) is internally consistent with the description: the attack is network-reachable through the WordPress customer cabinet, requires only low privileges (subscriber-level, which maps to PR:L), needs no victim interaction, and yields a confidentiality-only impact rated Low with no integrity or availability effect. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, POC reference, or SSVC decision data was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active exploitation or published exploit code - no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are therefore consistent rather than conflicting: a real, reproducible data-exposure flaw (clearly understood via the Wordfence advisory and linked source-code lines) that is self-service exploitable by any registered low-privilege user but limited in blast radius to leaking booking-related data (admin_notes, agent internal contact details, transaction tokens, payment request URLs) rather than full account takeover. The main risk amplifier not captured by the base score is that transaction tokens and payment request URLs could enable follow-on abuse, so the Low confidentiality rating may understate downstream impact. Missing data to note: no EPSS, no KEV, no explicit POC - exploitation likelihood is inferred, not confirmed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A subscriber-level user registers on a WordPress site running LatePoint, then uses the customer_cabinet__update route to store a template placeholder such as {{customer_admin_notes}} in their own first_name field. They trigger the password-reset email flow, and the notification mailer expands the placeholder server-side, delivering privileged booking data (admin notes, agent contact details, transaction tokens, payment URLs) to the attacker's inbox. No public exploit code was identified, but the technique is fully described in the Wordfence advisory and the attack complexity is low. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in the LatePoint appointment-booking plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 5.7.3) allows an authenticated subscriber-level user to leak privileged booking data - administrator-only admin_notes, assigned agent internal contact details, transaction tokens, and payment request URLs - by storing a template placeholder such as {{customer_admin_notes}} in their own first_name field via the customer_cabinet__update route and then triggering the LatePoint password-reset/notification email flow, which expands the placeholder server-side and mails the result to the attacker's address. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.3) confirms network reachability with mandatory low-privilege authentication and only a limited confidentiality impact, with no effect on integrity or availability and no code execution or data modification; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and exploitation depends on the site allowing self-registration or otherwise granting low-privilege accounts that can reach the customer cabinet update route.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version number is confirmed in the available data; the primary fix is an upstream plugin change that is present in the plugin repository as a changeset (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3728691%40latepoint&new=3728691%40latepoint), so treat this as upstream fix available (commit/changeset); released patched version not independently confirmed, and administrators should check the LatePoint plugin page and the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4494960c-66ed-47d9-b3fc-5a5ec5a07b1f?source=cve) for the current release and apply the latest version once one newer than 5.7.3 is published. If no update can be applied immediately, compensating controls are to deactivate the LatePoint plugin entirely (eliminates the issue but removes all booking/scheduling functionality), to disable or tightly restrict user self-registration so untrusted parties cannot obtain subscriber-level accounts and reach the customer_cabinet__update route (breaks customer self-service and requires manual account provisioning), and to restrict or disable outbound LatePoint notification/password-reset emails so a planted placeholder is never rendered (side effect: legitimate password resets, booking confirmations, and customer notifications will not be delivered, which can break account recovery flows). Because exploitation requires only a stored first_name value and a triggered notification, also review existing customer records for placeholder strings such as {{...}} in the first_name field and sanitize or clear them, and monitor mail logs for notification messages containing admin_notes, agent contact data, or transaction tokens as an indicator of prior abuse.

Technical ContextAI · show details
LatePoint is a WordPress appointment-booking and scheduling plugin whose notification system renders templated emails through a placeholder/replacer helper. The root cause is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor): user-supplied data from a low-privilege customer profile is treated as template content rather than inert text, so when the notification pipeline expands placeholders it resolves them against privileged objects instead of against the requesting user's own record. Referenced code paths in version 5.7.3 include replacer_helper.php (placeholder expansion at approximately lines 278 and 614), customer_cabinet_controller.php (the customer_cabinet__update route around line 321 that persists the first_name value), customer_model.php (customer field handling around line 388), and customer_mailer.php (notification email rendering around line 33). Because the placeholder string is stored in the customer's first_name and later re-rendered by the mailer, values that are normally restricted - admin-only admin_notes, agent internal contact data, transaction tokens, and payment request URLs - are substituted into an email the attacker controls. The affected component is identified by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:latepoint:appointment_booking_plugin_-_latepoint_|_calendar_&_scheduling_for_wordpress, i.e. the LatePoint plugin itself rather than WordPress core. This is a template/placeholder injection class of information-disclosure bug, distinct from SQL injection or remote code execution: the write is benign-looking, and the leak is entirely a function of an over-permissive expansion step in the email/notification rendering path.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Appointment Booking Plugin - LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.3 via the 'params[customer][first_name]' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract privileged booking data including the administrator-only admin_notes field, assigned agent internal contact details, transaction tokens, and payment request URLs delivered via rendered notification emails. A LatePoint customer can exploit this by storing a template placeholder such as {{customer_admin_notes}} in their own first_name field via the customer_cabinet__update route, then triggering the password-reset email flow to receive the expanded value in the resulting notification.
