Until a patch is available, restrict assignment of the latepoint_agent role to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to customer-to-user linking and password resets.

Description

CVE-2026-6741 is a high-severity privilege escalation vulnerability in the LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for WordPress versions up to 5.4.1. The flaw arises from a missing authorization check in the execute() method for the connect-customer-to-wp-user ability. Authenticated users with the latepoint_agent role can exploit this to link any LatePoint customer record to an administrator's WordPress account. This linkage enables them to reset the administrator's password via the customer password-reset flow, potentially leading to full site takeover.
