CVE-2026-4785: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in latepoint LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events
The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'button_caption' parameter in the [latepoint_resources] shortcode in versions up to and including 5.3.0. This is due to insufficient output escaping when the 'items' parameter is set to 'bundles'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The LatePoint Calendar Booking Plugin for WordPress contains a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'button_caption' parameter in the [latepoint_resources] shortcode when 'items' is set to 'bundles'. This occurs due to improper output escaping, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the page. The vulnerability affects versions up to 5.3.0 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity, no impact on availability. No official fix or patch has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or data exposure within the context of the affected WordPress site. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, reducing the attack surface.
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 affected shortcode with the 'items' parameter set to 'bundles'. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
