LatePoint <= 5.0.12 - Authentication Bypass

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 5.0.12.

Note that logging in as a WordPress user is only possible if the "Use WordPress users as customers" setting is enabled, which is disabled by default. The vulnerability is partially patched in version 5.0.12 and fully patched in version 5.0.13.
