Summary

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress up to version 5.6.2 is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) via the 'service_id' parameter. Missing validation allows unauthenticated attackers to create approved bookings for admin/agent-only services, consuming restricted capacity.

Risk Assessment

The organization risks exhaustion of booking limits for restricted services and unauthorized bookings, potentially causing scheduling chaos and loss of customer trust.

Recommendation

Immediately update the LatePoint plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability and audit for any unauthorized bookings.

Original NVD description (English source)

The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.6.2 via the 'service_id' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create approved bookings against services explicitly restricted to admins and agents, consuming restricted appointment capacity and triggering unauthorized bookings for admin/agent-only services. The bypass works via both the params[booking][service_id] parameter in steps__load_step and the presets[selected_service] parameter in steps__start, both of which are publicly accessible without authentication.
