Technical details
The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient output escaping on the 'button_caption' parameter within the [latepoint_resources] shortcode. This vulnerability is specifically triggered when the 'items' parameter is set to 'bundles'. An authenticated attacker with contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this to inject arbitrary web scripts into a page. These scripts will execute in the context of any user's browser who visits the affected page. The issue was addressed in a changeset following version 5.3.0.
