{"id":"CVE-2026-7457","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-7457","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T02:13:50.559Z","title":"The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to and including 5.5.0.","description":"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.","published":"2026-05-06T08:16:04.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T11:02:27.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.4,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00339,"percentile":0.27155,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.34%).
