MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires (1) the Tourfic plugin installed at version ≤3.0.1, and (2) WooCommerce active - the description states 'This requires WooCommerce to be active.' An attacker needs at least subscriber-level/WooCommerce customer authentication (PR:L), but this barrier is weak because the WooCommerce customer role is freely self-registerable without admin approval, effectively opening exploitation to any visitor who registers. Impact reaches beyond the plugin's own templates (which do sanitize via wp_kses_post()) specifically because the stored comment content is served unsanitized through the unauthenticated GET /wp-json/wp/v2/comments REST endpoint (content.rendered) and post/comment RSS feeds; the practical blast radius therefore depends on whether any headless front-end, feed reader, or third-party widget renders that comment content. Limiting factors: the WooCommerce dependency (non-default on many sites), the need to register an account, and the Low confidentiality/integrity impact typical of reflected script execution rather than direct server compromise. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, best characterized as a high-reach-but-limited-impact stored XSS rather than a critical flaw. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 6.4) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low privileges with a scope change - consistent with the description, since the attacker needs a self-registerable WooCommerce customer account and the injected script executes in other users' security contexts. The key risk amplifier is NOT severity but reachability: the description states the payload is returned unsanitized via the UNAUTHENTICATED GET /wp-json/wp/v2/comments REST endpoint (content.rendered) and RSS feeds, meaning the plugin's own wp_kses_post() output escaping on listing-page templates does not protect headless clients, feed readers, or third-party widgets. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or widespread exploitation. The authentication barrier is real on paper (PR:L) but practically low because the customer role is freely self-registerable without admin approval, as the description notes. Net: real but moderate - prioritize for WordPress sites running this plugin with WooCommerce active and any headless/feed consumer, deprioritize for isolated standard installs. Note one caveat: exploitation is gated on WooCommerce being active, a non-default dependency that the raw CVSS score does not reflect. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker self-registers a free WooCommerce customer account on a target site running Tourfic (≤3.0.1), then submits a review/comment containing a malicious script that is stored without sanitization. When any user - or a headless client, feed reader, or third-party widget - retrieves the comment via the unauthenticated /wp-json/wp/v2/comments REST endpoint or the post/comment RSS feed, the script executes in their browser context. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, though the attack path is explicitly described by the reporting source (Wordfence). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the Tourfic WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.0.1) allows attackers with subscriber-level or WooCommerce customer credentials to inject malicious JavaScript into comment content, which executes when victims view affected pages, REST API responses, or RSS feeds. Because WooCommerce customer registration is open without admin approval, any visitor can effectively become an attacker; the payload bypasses the plugin's own wp_kses_post() sanitization when served via the unauthenticated GET /wp-json/wp/v2/comments endpoint (content.rendered) and comment RSS feeds. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; if an updated version of Tourfic beyond 3.0.1 becomes available, upgrade to it immediately. In the absence of a patch, consider these specific compensating controls, each with trade-offs: disable or restrict access to the unauthenticated REST endpoint /wp-json/wp/v2/comments, or filter its content.rendered field, but be aware this may break headless clients, mobile apps, or third-party integrations that rely on it; disable comment RSS feeds or apply output sanitization to them, which may affect legitimate feed subscribers; turn off WooCommerce customer self-registration by disabling 'Allow customers to create an account' in WooCommerce settings, but this could prevent legitimate new customers from registering; use a security plugin or custom code to enforce sanitization on all comment output, including REST and RSS, ensuring that wp_kses_post() or similar filtering is applied at the point of rendering; and deploy a web application firewall (WAF) rule to block XSS payloads in comment submission, though this is a virtual patch and may have false positives.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) flaw arising from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the Tourfic plugin for WordPress. The plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:themefic:tourfic_-_ai_powered_travel_booking,_hotel_booking_&_car_rental:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, fails to properly sanitize comment content submitted by users with the unfiltered_html capability granted to the WooCommerce customer role. While the plugin's own listing-page templates sanitize output using wp_kses_post(), the stored payload remains unsanitized when comment data is served through WordPress core's REST API endpoint GET /wp-json/wp/v2/comments (specifically the content.rendered field) and through post/comment RSS feeds. This discrepancy exposes any headless front-end, feed reader, or third-party widget that renders comment content without additional sanitization. The affected code paths are referenced in the plugin's files inc/Traits/Action_Helper.php, inc/Classes/Helper.php, and inc/App/TF_Review.php. The WooCommerce dependency is required for the customer role to exist, and because that role is freely self-registerable without administrative approval, the practical attack surface extends to any visitor who registers an account.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Tourfic - AI Powered Travel Booking, Hotel Booking & Car Rental plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content via unfiltered_html Grant to Customer Role in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires WooCommerce to be active, but since the customer role is freely self-registerable without admin approval, exploitation is effectively possible by any unauthenticated visitor who registers a WooCommerce account. While the plugin's own listing-page templates sanitize output with wp_kses_post(), the stored payload is returned unsanitized via the unauthenticated GET /wp-json/wp/v2/comments REST endpoint (content.rendered) and post/comment RSS feeds, exposing any headless client, feed reader, or third-party widget that renders comment content.
