Agent-level administrator takeover via customer account reassignment
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
Privilege escalation in LatePoint 5.2.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with Agent access to take over administrator accounts. Customer creation and update paths pass attacker-controlled wordpress_user_id values to OsCustomerModel::set_data, allowing an Agent to bind a customer record to any WordPress user. The Agent can then invoke the customer password-reset flow for the linked administrator, replacing that account's password and gaining administrative access.
