MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a logged-in WordPress user with sufficient privileges (administrator or equivalent) visits an attacker-controlled page while their authenticated session is active. The Grand Tour theme must be installed and active on the target WordPress site running a version at or below 5.5.1. No special server configuration or non-default settings are required beyond the theme being present and active. Exploitation is limited by the mandatory user-interaction step: the attack cannot be automated without first successfully social-engineering or phishing a privileged site user. |
| Impact | The CVSS 5.4 Medium rating is consistent with CSRF's typical impact profile: integrity and availability are both rated Low, confidentiality is unaffected. The PR:N metric reflects that the attacker needs no account on the target site, while UI:R correctly captures the prerequisite that a logged-in site user (likely an administrator or editor) must visit an attacker-controlled page or click a malicious link. EPSS data is not provided, and neither CISA KEV status nor public proof-of-concept code is indicated, which together lower the near-term exploitation probability. Practically, even a mid-sized municipal tourism operator or travel agency using this theme - similar in scale to a gniezno-based tour company - should treat this as a straightforward patching task rather than an emergency, since exploitation requires a targeted social-engineering step against an authenticated admin. The overall risk is moderate for sites where administrators are routinely targeted by phishing, and lower for sites without active threat-actor interest. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious web page containing a hidden HTML form that submits a forged request to the victim's WordPress site - for example, altering tour listing content or theme settings. When an authenticated site administrator visits the attacker's page (via a phishing link or malicious ad), the browser automatically sends the forged request with the administrator's session cookie, causing the server to execute the unauthorized action. No public exploit code is confirmed, but the technique is trivially reproducible from standard CSRF documentation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026
Cross-Site Request Forgery in ThemeGoods Grand Tour WordPress theme (versions through 5.5.1) allows unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized state-changing actions on behalf of authenticated administrators or editors by tricking them into visiting a crafted page. The flaw stems from missing or insufficient nonce validation on one or more theme-level AJAX or form-handling endpoints. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed; this is a Patchstack disclosure with CVSS 5.4 (Medium).
RemediationAI
Update the Grand Tour theme to a version released after 5.5.1, which should include nonce verification fixes on vulnerable endpoints per the Patchstack disclosure. Consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/grandtour/vulnerability/wordpress-grand-tour-theme-5-5-1-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and the ThemeGoods distribution channel (ThemeForest or the vendor's site) for the patched release. If an immediate update is not feasible, restrict administrative access to the WordPress dashboard to trusted IP ranges via server-level firewall rules or the WordPress admin IP allowlist; this limits the pool of authenticated users who could be targeted. Additionally, enforcing strict Content Security Policy headers and training administrators to recognize phishing attempts reduce the social-engineering surface. No exact fixed version number is independently confirmed from the available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Grand Tour is a commercial WordPress theme by ThemeGoods, targeted at travel and tour operator websites. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery), a class of web application flaw where the server fails to verify that a state-changing HTTP request originates from the legitimate authenticated user rather than from a third-party attacker-controlled page. In the WordPress ecosystem, the standard mitigation is WordPress nonce verification on every privileged action; its absence or bypass enables CSRF. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:themegoods:grand_tour:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions up to and including 5.5.1 as affected. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L reflects the requirement for victim interaction but otherwise low attack complexity.
