AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The LatePoint Calendar Booking Plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 5.3.0 suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'button_caption' parameter in the [latepoint_resources] shortcode when 'items' is set to 'bundles'. Insufficient output escaping allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. This vulnerability can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts without availability effects. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, scoring 6.4.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages, potentially leading to partial disclosure of information and modification of data within the affected web application context. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability requires authentication and does not involve user interaction beyond viewing the injected content.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the [latepoint_resources] shortcode with the 'items' parameter set to 'bundles'. Monitor for updates from the LatePoint plugin vendor and apply official patches promptly once available.
