Unauthenticated settings modification via unchecked AJAX handlers
Published Jan 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 29, 2026
Missing authorization in WP Travel 7.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify plugin settings through unauthenticated AJAX requests. Multiple wp_ajax_nopriv handlers expose settings-changing callbacks without checking the caller's WordPress capabilities. No account or user interaction is required; successful requests alter site-wide plugin configuration but do not disclose data or interrupt service.
