AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable WordPress endpoints (AV:N), requires authenticated Agent role (PR:L), chaining three flaws raises complexity (AC:H), and Administrator takeover yields full C/I/A impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionNVD
The LatePoint - Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation to Administrator in versions up to, and including, 5.5.1. The plugin chains three independent flaws that together allow an authenticated Agent (Agent+) to overwrite a WordPress Administrator's password without ever invoking an Administrator-only API. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Agent access and above, to elevate their privileges to Administrator.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in the LatePoint Calendar Booking plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 5.5.1) allows an authenticated user with Agent-level access or higher to chain three independent flaws and overwrite a WordPress Administrator's password without invoking any Administrator-only API. Wordfence-reported flaw with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though source code locations of all three vulnerable code paths are referenced in the disclosure.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Attacker must hold an authenticated LatePoint Agent role or higher on the target WordPress site (PR:L), the vulnerable LatePoint plugin must be installed and active at version ≤ 5.5.1, and at least one WordPress Administrator account must exist as a target for the password overwrite. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 7.5) reflects a network-reachable but high-complexity attack that requires existing low-privilege (Agent) authentication and yields full C/I/A impact once an Administrator password is rewritten - effectively full site takeover. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or compromises an Agent-tier LatePoint account on a target WordPress site, then issues a sequence of crafted requests through the customer cabinet and orders/customers controllers to drive the customer-update flow against a record linked to a WordPress Administrator. Because the password-change path does not re-check privilege of the target, the Administrator's password is silently overwritten, and the attacker logs in as Administrator to install backdoors or pivot. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the input data references vulnerable code in the 5.5.1 tag and trunk but does not confirm a fixed release version, so administrators should monitor the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/b8d5bb6c-2021-4fc0-bede-8da1c3fb591a) and the LatePoint plugin page on WordPress.org for an update beyond 5.5.1 and upgrade as soon as one is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all WordPress installations running LatePoint ≤5.5.1; audit current Agent-level account assignments; restrict creation of new Agent accounts pending resolution. …
