Description

The LatePoint Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary User Password Change via SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 5.0.11. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts. Note that changing a WordPress user's password is only possible if the "Use WordPress users as customers" setting is enabled, which is disabled by default. Without this setting enabled, only the passwords of plugin customers, which are stored and managed in a separate database table, can be modified.

psychologyCrowdSec Analysis

CVE-2024-8911 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the LatePoint plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to 5.0.11. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily change user passwords, potentially leading to full site takeover if the "Use WordPress users as customers" setting is enabled. Even when this setting is disabled, attackers can still compromise customer accounts managed by the plugin. The vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization and insufficient SQL query preparation, making it a high-risk threat for affected WordPress sites.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 18th of February 2026.

CrowdSec has not observed any significant exploitation activity targeting CVE-2024-8911 across its network. As a result, no community-driven trend analysis is available for this vulnerability at this time.

Attackers exploit the LatePoint plugin by sending crafted POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with the action=latepoint_route_call and route_name=customer_cabinet__change_password parameters, injecting SQL code via the params field to manipulate user passwords or perform time-based SQL injection.

CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
