DescriptionCVE.org

The WP Travel Engine WordPress plugin before 6.8.2 does not perform a capability check on an AJAX action that updates a WP Travel Engine WordPress plugin before 6.8.2 option, allowing unauthenticated users to overwrite a site-wide WP Travel Engine WordPress plugin before 6.8.2 option (the public nonce that gates the action is served to anonymous visitors).

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated option overwrite in the WP Travel Engine WordPress plugin before 6.8.2 lets any anonymous visitor tamper with a site-wide plugin setting because an AJAX action lacks a capability check and the nonce that gates it is served to logged-out users. Attackers do not need credentials; publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS remains low (0.15%, 4th percentile) and the flaw is not on CISA KEV. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires only that the WP Travel Engine plugin (version below 6.8.2) be installed and active on a reachable WordPress site; the attacker must first retrieve the public nonce, which the plugin serves to anonymous visitors, then replay it to the unprotected AJAX action on admin-ajax.php. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, 7.5 High) is internally consistent with the description: network reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and an integrity-only impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker loads a public page of a target site, scrapes the plugin's public nonce embedded in the response, then sends a crafted POST to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php invoking the vulnerable action with that nonce to overwrite the site-wide plugin option - all without logging in. Because publicly available exploit code exists and SSVC rates the attack automatable, this can be scripted and fired at many sites indiscriminately.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade the WP Travel Engine plugin to version 6.8.2 or later, which adds the missing capability check on the affected AJAX action. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, verify your WP Travel Engine plugin version in WordPress admin dashboard and immediately update to version 6.8.2 or later via the WordPress plugin management interface or vendor download. …
