CVSS: 5.3
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-7652
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:treeHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-7652, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:treeAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

"details" : "The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Account Takeover via Weak Password Recovery Mechanism in the unauthenticated guest booking flow in versions up to, and including, 5.5.0 This is due to the save_connected_wordpress_user() function propagating a LatePoint customer's email address to its linked WordPress user account via wp_update_user() without any ownership verification, combined with the guest booking flow's ability to overwrite an existing customer's email through phone-based merge without authentication. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the email address of a non-super-admin WordPress user account that is not yet linked to a LatePoint customer, enabling full account takeover by subsequently triggering the standard WordPress password-reset flow to the attacker-controlled address granted the plugin is configured with WordPress user integration enabled, phone-based contact merging, and customer authentication disabled. Administrator accounts on single-site installs are not affected.",
