Description

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 5.3.2. This is due to missing nonce verification on the request_cancellation() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to cancel a logged-in customer's bookings via a forged request, granted they can trick the customer into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Summary

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in versions up to and including 5.3.2. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick a logged-in customer into cancelling their own bookings because the 'request_cancellation' function lacks proper nonce verification.

Vulnerable Code

/* lib/controllers/customer_cabinet_controller.php */

// line 20
$this->action_access['customer'] = array_merge(
	$this->action_access['customer'],
	[
		'update',
		'request_cancellation',
		'print_booking_info',
		'print_order_info',
		'ical_download',
		'process_reschedule_request',

		'view_order_summary_in_lightbox',
		'view_booking_summary_in_lightbox',
		'scheduling_summary_for_bundle',
		'reload_booking_tile',
	] 
);

 			}

Exploit Outline

The exploit involves inducing a logged-in customer to perform an unwanted action by visiting a malicious website. The attacker's site sends a request to the WordPress AJAX endpoint with the action set to 'latepoint_route_call' and the route set to 'customer_cabinet__request_cancellation'. The request includes the 'booking_id' of the appointment to be cancelled. Because the plugin does not verify a CSRF nonce for this specific route, the application processes the cancellation as if it were an intentional action by the customer.
