Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.0 via the wte_get_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) issue in the WP Travel Engine plugin for WordPress. It affects versions up to 6.8.0 and allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server. This can lead to code execution, bypassing access controls, or stealing sensitive data.

Detection Guidance

Check WordPress installations for the WP Travel Engine plugin versions up to 6.8.0. Look for unauthorized .php file inclusions in web server logs or unusual file access patterns. Use commands like grep to search for suspicious template function calls or file paths in plugin files.

Impact Analysis

If you use this plugin, attackers could exploit it to run malicious PHP code on your server. This may allow them to access sensitive data, modify files, or take control of your website. The risk is higher if contributor-level users or above have access to your site.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection. If exploited, it may result in data breaches, leading to legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage for organizations handling protected information.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the WP Travel Engine plugin to the latest version beyond 6.8.0 immediately. Remove or restrict contributor-level access to untrusted users. Review server logs for signs of exploitation and remove any unauthorized .php files.
