Summary
The LatePoint WordPress plugin before 5.7.5 does not validate the client-supplied value that sets how much is charged for a booking against the allowed amounts.

The flaw is classified as CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity). References include an exploit, but CISA's KEV catalog does not list the flaw.
