Publication date: 2026-04-08

Last updated on: 2026-04-08

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'button_caption' parameter in the [latepoint_resources] shortcode in versions up to and including 5.3.0. This is due to insufficient output escaping when the 'items' parameter is set to 'bundles'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Executive Summary

The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to and including 5.3.0. This vulnerability occurs via the 'button_caption' parameter in the [latepoint_resources] shortcode when the 'items' parameter is set to 'bundles'.

Because the plugin does not properly escape output in this context, authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the injected page.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows an attacker with contributor-level access or above to inject malicious scripts into the website. These scripts can execute in the context of other users visiting the affected pages.

The impact includes potential theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions performed on behalf of users without their consent.

Since the vulnerability requires authenticated access, it is limited to attackers who already have some level of access, but it can still lead to significant compromise of user data and site integrity.
