At a glance

CVE-2025-7052 is a high-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Appointment Booking Plugin WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 5.1.94. It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 5.2.0; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2025, reported by wesley (wcraft).

Vulnerability Overview

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.94. This is due to missing nonce validation on the change_password() function of its customer_cabinet__change_password AJAX route. The plugin hooks this endpoint via wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv but does not verify a nonce or user capability before resetting the user’s password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who trick a logged-in customer (or, with “WP users as customers” enabled, an administrator) into visiting a malicious link to take over their account.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Appointment Booking Plugin <= 5.1.94 carries this weakness at change_password(), and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.

An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. For Appointment Booking Plugin the fix is 5.2.0: builds <= 5.1.94 are affected, anything from 5.2.0 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 5.2.0, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Appointment Booking Plugin: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Appointment Booking Plugin 5.2.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
