CVE-2026-5234 - Changeset Plugin

CVE-2026-5234

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.

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 5.3). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

AI risk score 60/100 (Elevated, High) with priority P3 Priority. Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
