{"id":"CVE-2026-100163","published":"2026-10-14T08:17:02.257","lastModified":"2026-10-14T18:17:08.617","description":"The Appointment Booking Plugin – LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to, and including, 5.7.2 via the OsCustomerHelper::create_wp_user_for_customer() helper reached from the public process_step_customer() booking step. When the 'Use WordPress users as customers' option is enabled, the helper falls back from email_exists() to username_exists( $customer->email ), which matches any WordPress user whose user_login equals the victim customer's email even when that user's user_email is completely different, and links that WordPress user's ID into the victim's LatePoint customer row (only privileged roles are excluded; Subscriber is allowed). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to take over another customer's LatePoint account — accessing their bookings, service, agent, and calendar data, and having the victim customer's email overwritten with the attacker's on next login — by holding a Subscriber account whose user_login equals the victim's email and submitting an unauthenticated public booking step registration request.","cvssScore":7.4,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","cwes":["CWE-287"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.7.2/latepoint.php#L1072","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.7.2/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php#L259","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.7.2/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php#L274","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.7.2/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L2146","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.7.2/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L2156","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.7.3/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2a942d71-7172-4e02-9faa-3a2c1c9e7fbd?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
