CVE-2026-110653

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 5.7.4 is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via Race Condition in the verifyOTP function. The OTP attempts counter is updated non-atomically without a WHERE attempts < 10 guard and without a row lock, creating a TOCTOU window that lets concurrent requests bypass the 10-attempt lockout.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker who knows a customer's email or phone number can brute-force the 6-digit OTP code and take over their account, bookings, and personal data.

Recommendation

Update the LatePoint plugin to a version newer than 5.7.4; until then, consider restricting access to the auth__verify_otp endpoint or adding an additional rate limit at the web server level.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Appointment Booking Plugin – LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via Race Condition in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.4. This is due to a non-atomic read-modify-write on the OTP verification attempts counter in the `verifyOTP` function: the counter is incremented using a stale in-memory value with no conditional `WHERE attempts < 10` guard on the `UPDATE` and no `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` row lock, creating a TOCTOU window that allows concurrent requests to bypass the 10-attempt lockout. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers — who know a target customer's registered email address or phone number — to fire concurrent requests to the `auth__verify_otp` endpoint, defeat the lockout cap, brute-force the 6-digit OTP code, and authenticate as the targeted LatePoint customer, gaining full access to their account, bookings, and personal data. The nonce check present on the endpoint (`otp_verify_otp_nonce`) does not mitigate this issue, as the nonce is publicly emitted by the unauthenticated `request_otp` and `resend_otp` endpoints and is trivially obtainable by any unauthenticated attacker prior to launching the race.
