CVE-2026-13144: CWE-284 Improper Access Control in WP Travel
The WP Travel WordPress plugin before 12.0.2 does not properly verify that the requester is authorized to modify the targeted booking on one branch of its bank-deposit handler, allowing an unauthenticated attacker who knows the target customer's email address to reset that customer's booking payment to an unpaid state and wipe its stored deposit-reconciliation data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WP Travel plugin for WordPress versions prior to 12.0.2 contains an access control flaw (CWE-284) where the plugin does not properly verify that the requester is authorized to modify a targeted booking. Specifically, an unauthenticated attacker who knows the target customer's email address can exploit this weakness in the bank-deposit handler to reset the booking payment status to unpaid and delete stored deposit-reconciliation data. This could disrupt payment records and potentially affect booking integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker can manipulate booking payment statuses without authentication, causing legitimate bookings to appear unpaid and removing deposit reconciliation data. This could lead to financial discrepancies and administrative confusion but does not indicate direct data disclosure or system compromise from the provided information.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance has been published yet. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected plugin functionality and monitor for suspicious activity related to booking modifications.
