Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session at subscriber level or higher (confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS vector). On sites with open user registration, an attacker self-registers at no cost; on sites with registration disabled, the attacker must first compromise or socially engineer an existing low-privilege account, which meaningfully raises the bar. No specific non-default plugin configuration is stated as a prerequisite - the vulnerability appears to be present in the default installed state of affected versions. The high integrity and availability impact (I:H/A:H) indicates unauthorized write or destructive operations are possible, while the absence of confidentiality impact (C:N) means read-access to protected data is not part of the attack surface confirmed by the CVSS vector. Disabling the plugin or restricting authenticated access to the WordPress installation are the primary limiting factors for defenders.

Impact

The CVSS 8.1 score reflects a genuinely significant risk profile: AV:N and AC:L confirm the endpoint is network-reachable and requires no special conditions, while I:H and A:H indicate that content integrity and site availability are both fully compromisable. The single meaningful barrier to exploitation is the PR:L requirement - a subscriber-level account - which is trivially bypassed on any WordPress installation with open user registration enabled. No EPSS score was included in the provided intelligence, so quantitative exploitation probability cannot be assessed numerically; however, the low technical complexity means that even a mid-sized travel agency IT team in walbrzych should treat this as urgent if their site permits public account creation. There is no CISA KEV listing and no known public proof-of-concept, which modestly reduces near-term mass-exploitation risk, but the attack class (broken access control on a low-privilege role) is well understood and replication from description alone is straightforward. The absence of confidentiality impact (C:N) limits data-exfiltration scenarios but does not diminish the real threat of unauthorized content modification or disruption.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a free subscriber account on the target WordPress site - possible on any site with open registration enabled - and authenticates normally. The attacker then sends a crafted HTTP POST or REST request to one of the plugin's unprotected endpoints, omitting no special tooling beyond a browser or curl, and executes a privileged action such as modifying, publishing, or deleting content. No public proof-of-concept has been identified, but the attack technique requires no specialized knowledge beyond familiarity with WordPress AJAX mechanics.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026

Broken access control in the Travelfic Toolkit WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.5.1) permits subscriber-level authenticated users to execute privileged operations without proper authorization enforcement, yielding high integrity and availability impact on the affected installation. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails entirely to verify whether a requesting user holds the necessary capabilities before processing sensitive actions. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to update Travelfic Toolkit to a version beyond 1.5.1; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/travelfic-toolkit/vulnerability/wordpress-travelfic-toolkit-plugin-1-5-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the confirmed patched release number, as the specific fix version was not independently confirmed in the available intelligence data. If an immediate update is not possible, disabling public user registration (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') eliminates the easiest path to a subscriber account, though this blocks legitimate new registrations as a trade-off. A web application firewall rule targeting the vulnerable plugin's AJAX action names or REST endpoints can serve as an additional compensating control; however, the specific endpoint identifiers are not disclosed in the current intelligence and would require dynamic analysis to enumerate. Plugin deactivation until patching is feasible provides the strongest interim protection at the cost of losing plugin functionality entirely.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Travelfic Toolkit is a WordPress plugin by Themefic (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:themefic:travelfic_toolkit:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) providing travel-themed site functionality. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the plugin exposes one or more AJAX handlers or REST API endpoints that execute privileged operations without attaching WordPress capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) or nonce verification gated to higher roles. WordPress assigns 'subscriber' as its lowest default authenticated role, typically permitting only profile reads and comment posting. When plugin code omits authorization gates on sensitive actions, any subscriber-level session token becomes sufficient to trigger high-impact operations. This pattern is endemic to WordPress plugin ecosystems where developers add functionality incrementally without consistently applying the principle of least privilege to every registered hook.

Subscriber Broken Access Control in Travelfic Toolkit <= 1.5.1 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Travelfic Toolkit WordPress plugin (versions 1.5.1 and earlier) contains a broken access control vulnerability allowing subscriber-level users to execute privileged operations they should not have permission to perform, directly impacting data integrity and service availability on affected WordPress installations. Any site running this plugin with untrusted or compromised subscriber accounts faces immediate risk of unauthorized content modification and operational disruption.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Without an available vendor patch, implement: (1) disable the Travelfic Toolkit plugin immediately if non-critical to operations; (2) restrict subscriber user role capabilities through WordPress role management to exclude sensitive actions; (3) audit and remove untrusted subscriber accounts; (4) enable comprehensive user activity logging and monitoring; (5) apply Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block abuse of plugin endpoints if architectural feasibility permits; (6) isolate the affected WordPress instance from sensitive backend systems pending patched release.
