CVE-2026-7457 | LatePoint <= 5.5.0 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Customer Cabinet Profile Update

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to and including 5.5.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization on the customer cabinet profile update endpoint — where raw POST parameters (first_name, last_name, phone, notes) bypass sanitization because OsCustomerModel does not override params_to_sanitize(), causing set_data() to store unsanitized values verbatim in the database — combined with insufficient output escaping in generate_preview(), which injects those stored values into notification template HTML via str_replace() without any esc_html() call before echoing the result. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with customer-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts into the admin notification preview panel that execute in an administrator's or agent's browser whenever a notification template referencing customer variables such as {{customer_full_name}}, {{customer_first_name}}, {{customer_last_name}}, {{customer_phone}}, or {{customer_notes}} is previewed.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.

Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
