This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the email address of a non-super-admin WordPress user account that is not yet linked to a LatePoint customer, enabling full account takeover by subsequently triggering the standard WordPress password-reset flow to the attacker-controlled address granted the plugin is configured with WordPress user integration enabled, phone-based contact merging, and customer authentication disabled. Administrator accounts on single-site installs are not affected."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N", "baseScore": 5.3, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "impactScore": 1.4}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-640"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.4.2/latepoint.php#L1165", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.4.2/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php#L238", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.4.2/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L1940", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.4.2/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L1972", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/latepoint.php#L1165", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php#L238", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L1940", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L1972", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/trunk/latepoint.php#L1165", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/trunk/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php#L238", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/trunk/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L1940", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/trunk/lib/helpers/steps_helper.php#L1972", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3522933/latepoint/trunk/latepoint.php", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Flatepoint/tags/5.5.0&new_path=%2Flatepoint/tags/5.5.1", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/bdaa32cd-a148-4554-9fd5-f5b0a5b2d1c3?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
