Vendor/Project: wptravelengine
Product: WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software

Description

The WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wte_trip_tax' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-2437 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin for WordPress. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'wte_trip_tax' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts via insufficiently sanitized and escaped user input. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 6.7.5. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4 (medium severity), with attack vector network, low attack complexity, privileges required at the contributor level, no user interaction needed, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No patch or official remediation level has been published by the vendor as of the data provided.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data manipulation for users who view the injected content. The confidentiality and integrity of user data may be compromised. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'wte_trip_tax' shortcode if feasible. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
