makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Likely Mitigating ControlsAI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

CA-8 Penetration Testing
addresses: CWE-79

Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-79

Validates web inputs to reject script-related content that could produce XSS.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering
addresses: CWE-79

Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-7448 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, classified under CWE-79, in the LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events for WordPress. It affects all versions up to and including 5.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'first_name' parameter. This flaw enables the injection of arbitrary web scripts into pages, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the vulnerability remotely with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. By submitting a crafted 'first_name' parameter, they can store malicious scripts on the server, which then execute in the context of any user's browser when accessing the injected page, potentially leading to low-level confidentiality and integrity impacts given the changed scope.

References provided link to vulnerable code locations in the plugin's source repository, including activities_controller.php (lines 270 in versions 5.3.2 and 5.5.0), email_helper.php (line 50 in 5.3.2), replacer_helper.php (line 276 in 5.3.2), and customer_model.php (line 376 in 5.3.2). No specific mitigation or patch details are detailed in the available references.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
attack.mitre.org →
T1059.007 JavaScript Execution
Adversaries may abuse various implementations of JavaScript for execution.
attack.mitre.org →
T1185 Browser Session Hijacking Collection
Adversaries may take advantage of security vulnerabilities and inherent functionality in browser software to change content, modify user-behaviors, and intercept information as part of various browser session hijacking techniques.
attack.mitre.org →
T1539 Steal Web Session Cookie Credential Access
An adversary may steal web application or service session cookies and use them to gain access to web applications or Internet services as an authenticated user without needing credentials.

Why these techniques?

Stored XSS in public-facing WordPress plugin directly enables T1190 (exploiting the vulnerable booking endpoint with unsanitized first_name). Arbitrary script execution in victim browsers maps to T1059.007 (JavaScript interpreter), T1185 (browser session hijacking via injected scripts), and T1539 (stealing web session cookies).
