The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated WordPress account at contributor level or above (PR:L), so the site must grant untrusted users contributor access or permit contributor/open registration - the primary limiting factor. The specific vector is the 'type' parameter handled by the Tourfic Wishlist shortcode (Wishlist.php). The payload must be crafted as an attribute value/event handler without angle-bracket characters so it passes the wp_kses_post sanitization applied on save; it then executes in the unauthenticated (guest) rendering branch when any visitor accesses the injected page. Realistic impact therefore depends on the site exposing pages that render the stored shortcode to guests and on the attacker already possessing or obtaining contributor rights.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.4) stored XSS that should be treated as a moderate, not top-tier, priority. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity injection with a scope change - the payload crosses a trust boundary by storing as an authenticated contributor and firing in the unauthenticated guest rendering branch. The key risk-limiting signal is PR:L: exploitation requires a contributor-level account, so real-world risk is concentrated on multi-author sites or those allowing open/contributor registration, not on single-admin installs. No EPSS score was provided in the input, the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit (POC) is indicated - so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The CVSS claims UI:N, but stored XSS inherently requires a victim to load the injected page; this is a known Wordfence scoring convention rather than a contradiction, though defenders should note the de facto dependency on victim page visits. Overall: a legitimate issue to patch, but the contributor-access prerequisite and absence of KEV/POC/EPSS signals place it below internet-facing unauthenticated RCE-class priorities.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds (or registers for) a contributor-level account on a Tourfic-enabled WordPress site submits content containing a malicious value in the 'type' parameter of the Wishlist shortcode, crafting the payload as an HTML attribute/event handler that needs no angle brackets so it survives the wp_kses_post filter. The stored payload then executes in the browser of any guest visitor who loads the affected page, enabling session/cookie theft, forced actions, or redirection. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so weaponization would require an attacker to reconstruct the attribute-injection technique from the advisory.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the Tourfic - AI Powered Travel Booking, Hotel Booking & Car Rental WordPress plugin affects all versions up to and including 3.0.1, allowing an authenticated attacker with contributor-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'type' parameter handled by the Wishlist shortcode. The injected payload is crafted without angle-bracket characters so it survives the wp_kses_post filter applied on save, and it then executes as a live event handler in the unauthenticated (guest) rendering branch whenever any visitor loads the affected page. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.4, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) and reported by Wordfence; no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and the practical risk is bounded by the requirement that a site grant the attacker contributor rights (for example through open registration or lax role assignment) and publish the injected content to guest-visible pages.

RemediationAI

The vendor fix is Tourfic 3.0.2, which is above the affected range of 3.0.1 and earlier; upgrade the plugin through the WordPress admin or directly from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/tourfic.3.0.2.zip, then verify the reported version and re-render any Wishlist shortcode pages. Until the upgrade is applied, the most effective compensating control is to restrict who can hold contributor-level or higher accounts: close open/self-registration, remove contributor rights from untrusted users, and audit existing contributor accounts, since the exploit prerequisite is an authenticated contributor (PR:L). Because the payload is stored and later fires for guests, also scan and cleanse existing content that uses the Type parameter on the Wishlist shortcode and remove unknown event-handler attributes; note that wp_kses_post alone is not a sufficient barrier here because the crafted payload avoids angle brackets, so relying on that filter without patching leaves the issue in place. As an additional layer, deploy a WAF rule that flags suspicious non-escaped attribute values in shortcode output, recognizing that WAF coverage for attribute-based event handlers can be evasive. Site owners with no contributor workflow can disable or hide the Wishlist shortcode pages as a temporary measure, at the cost of losing that wishlist functionality. The original advisory is at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/34466168-c03c-430e-9aba-daf718cbc9ad?source=cve and the code-level context is at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tourfic/tags/3.0.0/inc/App/Shortcodes/Wishlist.php.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) instance of stored XSS in a WordPress plugin. The affected component is the Tourfic Wishlist shortcode; the reference source at plugins.trac.wordpress.org confirms the relevant handling in inc/App/Shortcodes/Wishlist.php around lines 19 and 25, where the 'type' parameter is read and later emitted into markup. WordPress sites commonly call wp_kses_post() when persisting post-like content, and the plugin relies on that filter as its defense. However, wp_kses_post only strips a defined set of dangerous tags and attributes, and the attacker here does not need angle brackets at all: by placing the payload inside an attribute value that is later rendered without escaping, the injected string can survive sanitization and be interpreted by the browser as an event handler on the unauthenticated rendering path. The CVSS vector's scope change (S:C) reflects that the injected script runs against visitors other than the injecting contributor, in the site's origin. The CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:themefic:tourfic_*…) indicates the vendor is Themefic and the affected artifact is the Tourfic plugin, with the wildcard version confirming that no listed release before the fix is exempt.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Tourfic - AI Powered Travel Booking, Hotel Booking & Car Rental plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'type' parameter 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 contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The wp_kses_post filter applied on save does not strip the payload because angle-bracket characters are not required, allowing the unescaped attribute value to survive storage and fire as a live event handler in the unauthenticated (guest) rendering branch.
