MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against default configurations of the LatePoint plugin, per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. The prerequisite is simply that a reachable WordPress site has LatePoint (≤ 5.6.3) installed and active and exposes the vulnerable booking/AJAX request handler to the attacker. Limiting factors: exploitation is 'blind', so data extraction is slower and requires many inference requests (making it noisier and rate-limitable); impact is read-oriented (C:H, I:N) so this does not by itself grant write/RCE; and a WAF or access controls in front of the plugin endpoints can raise the practical difficulty. The exact vulnerable parameter/endpoint is not disclosed in the provided data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a high-priority, remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw, and the 9.3 score is elevated by S:C (scope change) reflecting access to the broader database. However, the impact profile is asymmetric - C:H, I:N, A:L - meaning the vendor scored this primarily as a confidentiality/read-oriented issue, not full database write or takeover, which is consistent with a blind SQLi used to exfiltrate data. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so real-world exploitation probability cannot be quantified here. There is no KEV listing and no POC referenced, so this is a credible high-severity issue but not confirmed to be under active exploitation; the WordPress plugin attack surface and Patchstack's involvement make opportunistic scanning plausible once details circulate. Note a minor tension worth verifying: I:N/A:L limits impact to reads and minor availability effects, so raw 9.3 may overstate operational risk versus a full RCE - prioritize based on whether sensitive customer/PII booking data is stored. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker locates a WordPress site running LatePoint and sends crafted parameters to a vulnerable booking or AJAX endpoint, embedding SQL that the plugin passes to the database without sanitization. Using boolean or time-based blind techniques (e.g., conditional delays), the attacker iteratively infers and extracts sensitive data such as administrator password hashes from wp_users or customer PII from booking tables. No public POC is referenced, but the low attack complexity and no-authentication requirement make automated exploitation with tools like sqlmap straightforward once the parameter is known. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026
Blind SQL injection in the LatePoint WordPress appointment-booking plugin (versions up to and including 5.6.3) lets remote unauthenticated attackers inject crafted SQL through improperly neutralized input (CWE-89), enabling extraction of database contents via boolean/time-based inference. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 9.3 with a network vector requiring no privileges or user interaction; the changed scope reflects access to the shared WordPress/MySQL database beyond the plugin's own boundary. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade LatePoint to a release newer than 5.6.3 as published by the vendor; the input data does not specify an exact fixed version, so consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/latepoint/vulnerability/wordpress-latepoint-plugin-5-6-3-sql-injection-vulnerability) and the LatePoint changelog for the first patched build and update immediately - patch available per vendor advisory, but a specific fixed version is not independently confirmed from the provided data. Until patched, place the site behind a WAF (such as Patchstack's or a comparable WordPress firewall) with SQL-injection rules tuned to LatePoint's booking endpoints, and restrict or rate-limit public access to the booking/AJAX request handlers the plugin exposes; note that WAF rules can be bypassed and may block legitimate booking traffic if too aggressive. If LatePoint is not actively used, deactivate and remove the plugin to eliminate the attack surface, and audit the database and access logs for signs of prior injection given the blind nature makes exploitation stealthy.

Technical ContextAI · show details
LatePoint is a commercial WordPress plugin providing online appointment scheduling and booking for service businesses; it runs inside the WordPress PHP environment and reads/writes to the site's shared MySQL/MariaDB database. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): user-controllable input reaches a database query without proper parameterization or escaping, letting an attacker alter the query's logic. The 'blind' qualifier indicates results are not returned directly in the HTTP response, so data is inferred through boolean or time-based side channels - slower to exploit but functionally equivalent for data exfiltration. Because WordPress plugins share the single wp_ database, injection here can reach core tables such as wp_users and wp_options.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in LatePoint LatePoint latepoint allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects LatePoint: from n/a through <= 5.6.3.
Executive ViewAI
The LatePoint WordPress appointment-booking plugin (versions 5.6.3 and earlier) contains a critical remote vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to extract customer appointment data and sensitive information from the organization's database without user interaction. This poses immediate risk to customer privacy and potential regulatory compliance violations for any organization relying on this plugin. No patch is currently available, necessitating urgent mitigation to prevent exploitation.
Until vendor patch is released: (1) Uninstall or disable LatePoint plugin if operationally feasible to eliminate attack surface entirely; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block SQL injection attack patterns (UNION-based queries, time-based sleeps, information schema enumeration) at appointment booking endpoints; (3) Restrict MySQL database user privileges to minimum necessary access level (read-only for application user if possible); (4) Enable and monitor MySQL query logging for suspicious patterns (SELECT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA, UNION statements, comment sequences); (5) Isolate WordPress/MySQL infrastructure on dedicated network segment with restricted external access; (6) Implement rate limiting and request throttling on appointment booking endpoints to impede time-based inference data extraction attacks.
