CVE-2026-7448: 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 'first_name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The LatePoint WordPress plugin for calendar booking is vulnerable to stored XSS via the 'first_name' parameter. This occurs because input is not properly neutralized during web page generation, allowing injection of arbitrary scripts. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 5.5.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with scope change. No patch or official fix has been published yet, and the plugin is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates or user action.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'first_name' parameter, which execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other malicious actions impacting confidentiality and integrity. Availability is not affected. The vulnerability has a high severity rating (CVSS 7.2). There are no known active exploits reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable plugin or applying manual input sanitization workarounds if feasible. Monitoring vendor channels for updates is recommended.
