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 | Exploitation requires reaching the LatePoint booking flow - specifically a request carrying the 'booking[service_id]' parameter to the plugin's booking-step handling - on any WordPress site with LatePoint version ≤5.7.2 installed and active; the booking functionality is the plugin's core feature and is exposed to unauthenticated visitors by default, so no non-default configuration, authentication, or user interaction is needed. Limiting factors are narrow: the site must run the vulnerable plugin version with booking pages reachable. The impact is bounded to confidentiality (database read/extraction); the flaw does not, by the CVSS vector, grant data modification (I:N) or availability impact (A:N). |
| Impact | This is a credible, actionable priority despite the absence of exploitation telemetry. The provided CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes an unauthenticated, network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection requiring no user interaction - the easiest class of flaw to weaponize and automate against public-facing WordPress sites. The impact profile is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N), consistent with the description's claim of data extraction rather than modification or takeover. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no explicit POC indicator were supplied, so by the precision rules this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'; however, unauthenticated CWE-89 flaws in popular WordPress plugins are historically rapid targets for mass scanning once a patch diff is public, and the input includes a WordPress.org changeset link that effectively discloses the fix location. No signals conflict here - the description (unauthenticated) and the CVSS vector (PR:N) agree. The main caveat is that risk severity (high) is distinct from real-world exploitation volume, which cannot be confirmed from the data provided (EPSS and KEV both absent). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker locates a WordPress site running LatePoint and submits a booking-step request with a malicious 'booking[service_id]' value, appending SQL to the plugin's unprepared query. Because no authentication or user interaction is needed, the attacker extracts sensitive database contents (e.g. user data, WordPress secrets, or session/credential material) directly in responses or via inference. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerable source lines are disclosed in the referenced WordPress.org trac links. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the LatePoint WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 5.7.2) allows remote attackers to append arbitrary SQL queries via the 'booking[service_id]' parameter, enabling extraction of sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability is easily exploitable (CVSS 7.5) with no authentication or user interaction required, and affects the plugin's core booking functionality. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the flaw poses a significant risk due to its low complexity and high confidentiality impact.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the LatePoint plugin to a version that includes the fix; a specific patched version number is not confirmed in the available data, but an upstream fix is available via Trac changeset 3718438 (referenced in the advisory). If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider disabling the plugin entirely, as it is the only way to fully eliminate the vulnerability; this removes booking functionality. Alternatively, deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'booking[service_id]' parameter, though WAFs are not foolproof and may require tuning to avoid false positives. Restricting access to booking pages is not viable because the vulnerability is unauthenticated by design. Always test patches in a staging environment before production deployment.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The LatePoint plugin for WordPress fails to properly sanitize the 'booking[service_id]' parameter before using it in SQL queries, leading to a generic SQL injection (CWE-89). Insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements in the plugin's booking step handling (see code references in model.php, connector_helper.php, steps_helper.php, and steps_controller.php) allow an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands. The vulnerability is present in all versions up to and including 5.7.2, as indicated by the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:latepoint:appointment_booking_plugin_-_latepoint_|_calendar_&_scheduling_for_wordpress:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* which covers all versions. The plugin's booking functionality is exposed to unauthenticated users by default, making the attack vector network-accessible with no privileges required (PR:N). The impact is limited to confidentiality (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N).

DescriptionCVE.org
The Appointment Booking Plugin - LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'booking[service_id]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Executive ViewAI
The LatePoint booking plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 5.7.2) contains a high-severity SQL injection flaw reachable through the plugin's core booking functionality, allowing an attacker to append arbitrary database queries and extract sensitive information. Any organization running an affected version on an internet-facing WordPress site should treat its booking, customer, and potentially adjacent WordPress data as at risk of exposure. Because no vendor patch is currently available, leadership should expect this to require compensating controls and monitoring rather than routine patching, and should weigh the business cost of taking booking functionality offline against the risk of a data breach.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or remove the LatePoint plugin (versions up to and including 5.7.2) where booking functionality is not business-critical; where it must remain live, apply WAF/virtual-patching rules blocking SQL injection patterns in the 'booking[service_id]' parameter and other booking inputs; restrict network access to booking endpoints where feasible; enforce least-privilege database credentials for WordPress; enable and monitor web/database logging for injection attempts and anomalous data access; and prepare for rapid patching or plugin replacement.
