CVE-2025-7526: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in wptravelengine WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software
The WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion (via renaming) due to insufficient file path validation in the set_user_profile_image function in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin for WordPress contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the set_user_profile_image function. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to perform arbitrary file deletion by bypassing file path restrictions. Deleting key files such as wp-config.php can enable remote code execution. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 6.6.7. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting its critical severity and ease of exploitation without privileges or user interaction. No vendor patch or mitigation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the vulnerable plugin, potentially removing critical WordPress configuration files. This can lead to remote code execution and full compromise of the affected system. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the server and hosted website.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the affected plugin and consider disabling or removing it if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
