The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary User Password Change via SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 5.0.11. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts. Note that changing a WordPress user's password is only possible if the "Use WordPress users as customers" setting is enabled, which is disabled by default. Without this setting enabled, only the passwords of plugin customers, which are stored and managed in a separate database table, can be modified.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Probe for SQL injection in LatePoint plugin by sending a payload with a single quote (e.g., value `8'`) in user-supplied parameters; a JSON error response with HTTP 200 and body containing `"status":"error"` and content-type `application/json` indicates the injection point is reachable.
- ·Arbitrary WordPress user password change (including administrator accounts) via SQL injection is only possible when the 'Use WordPress users as customers' setting is enabled in LatePoint. This setting is disabled by default. Without it, only passwords of plugin-managed customers (stored in a separate database table) can be modified. ↗
