MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid WordPress subscriber-level (or higher) account on the target site. If the WordPress site has open user registration enabled, any anonymous internet user can self-register and immediately exploit this flaw. If registration is disabled and accounts are admin-provisioned, exploitation is limited to existing authenticated users (e.g., malicious insiders or compromised accounts). The Tourfic plugin must be installed and active. No specific non-default Tourfic configuration is identified as a prerequisite - the broken access control appears to affect default plugin functionality. What limits exploitation: the PR:L requirement prevents fully unauthenticated attacks; the impact is read-only (C:H/I:N/A:N), so an attacker cannot modify data or take down the site via this flaw alone. |
| Impact | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N reflects a realistic and moderate-to-elevated real-world risk for affected deployments. The Low Privileges requirement (PR:L) is the primary limiting factor - exploitation requires an attacker to first hold a valid subscriber account on the target WordPress site, which on sites with open registration is trivially obtained. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. No public exploit code (POC) has been identified. The impact is confined to confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N), meaning an attacker can read restricted data but cannot modify content or disrupt availability. For WordPress sites in travel or tour booking niches with open user registration enabled, this represents a meaningful data exposure risk; for sites requiring admin-created accounts, the attack surface is considerably narrower. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a target WordPress travel booking site running Tourfic 2.23.1 or earlier, then sends a crafted authenticated HTTP request (e.g., a wp-admin/admin-ajax.php action or REST API call) to an endpoint that lacks proper capability checks. The missing authorization allows the subscriber to retrieve booking records, customer personally identifiable information, or other restricted plugin data that should be accessible only to editors or administrators. No public exploit code is required given the low complexity of the attack. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026
Broken Access Control in the Tourfic WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 2.23.1) allows authenticated subscriber-level users to access restricted functionality or data beyond their intended authorization scope. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862), enabling low-privileged authenticated users to bypass access controls and retrieve sensitive information, as reflected by the High confidentiality impact in the CVSS vector. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the low-complexity, network-accessible nature of the flaw makes it straightforward to exploit for any registered site user.
RemediationAI
Update the Tourfic plugin to a version greater than 2.23.1 as soon as a patched release is available from Themefic via the WordPress plugin repository. No exact patched version number was confirmed in the available source data - check the WordPress.org plugin page or the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/tourfic/vulnerability/wordpress-tourfic-plugin-2-23-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the latest confirmed fix version before upgrading. As an interim compensating control, site administrators should disable open user registration (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to eliminate the trivial account creation path that enables exploitation by anonymous attackers; note this may impact legitimate site workflows. Additionally, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule targeting the specific vulnerable endpoint - identifiable from the Patchstack report - can block exploit attempts without requiring a plugin update, though this requires WAF access and the specific endpoint detail.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Tourfic is a WordPress travel and tour booking plugin developed by Themefic (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:themefic:tourfic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning one or more plugin endpoints or AJAX handlers fail to verify that the calling user possesses sufficient privileges before executing a sensitive operation. WordPress subscriber accounts are the lowest authenticated role and are freely obtainable on any site with open registration. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms the issue is exploitable over the network at low complexity, requiring only a subscriber-level account - consistent with a REST or admin-ajax endpoint that lacks a capability check such as current_user_can().
