CVE-2026-5234

What is known

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.2. The vulnerability exists because the OsStripeConnectController::create_payment_intent_for_transaction action is registered as a public action (no authentication required) and loads invoices by sequential integer invoice_id without any access_key or ownership verification. This is in contrast to other invoice-related actions (view_by_key, payment_form, summary_before_payment) in OsInvoicesController which properly require a cryptographic UUID access_key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid invoice IDs via an error message oracle, create unauthorized transaction intent records in the database containing sensitive financial data (invoice_id, order_id, customer_id, charge_amount), and on sites with Stripe Connect configured, the response also leaks Stripe payment_intent_client_secret tokens, transaction_intent_key values, and payment amounts for any invoice.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-5234, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
