WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

LatePoint < 5.7.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via First/Last Name Field

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The payload is planted during the unauthenticated booking flow and triggered when the Customer Cabinet block rendered by render_customer_dashboard() outputs the stored name into the content stream, where WordPress core's do_shortcode filter at priority 11 re-parses and executes it.
