Network-reachable via shortcode but needs contributor auth (PR:L) and, for code execution, an uploadable .php (AC:H); worst-case PHP execution justifies C/I/A:H.

DescriptionCVE.org

The WP Travel Engine - Tour Booking Plugin - Tour Operator Software plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.0 via the wte_get_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher on a WordPress site running the WP Travel Engine plugin 6.8.0 or earlier can force the plugin's wte_get_template helper, reachable through one of its shortcodes, to include and execute arbitrary server-side .php files, enabling sensitive data disclosure, access-control bypass, or code execution. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) rates attack complexity as high because full remote code execution is gated on the attacker being able to place an attacker-controlled .php file on the server for inclusion; without that upload primitive, impact is limited to including and executing pre-existing PHP files. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated WordPress account with contributor-level capability or higher (PR:L) on a site running WP Travel Engine ≤6.8.0; the LFI is triggered through the wte_get_template helper reached via a plugin shortcode. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuinely serious but conditionally-gated vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 6.8.1 - upgrade WP Travel Engine from 6.8.0 or earlier to 6.8.1, the version published in the plugin Trac changeset 3572382 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3572382/wp-travel-engine/tags/6.8.1/includes/classes/Core/Shortcodes/General.php), which contains the fix to the shortcode/template resolution path; the vendor advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/708b70c7-e4e6-4422-9682-c7d05063a188?source=cve should be consulted to confirm the fixed build before closing the finding. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every WordPress instance running WP Travel Engine 6.8.0 or earlier, including staging and agency-managed sites, and confirm whether the plugin is active and whether its shortcodes are rendered on publicly reachable pages; simultaneously pull a list of all accounts at contributor level or above and freeze new account provisioning at those roles until the risk is understood. …
