Unauthenticated post deletion via unchecked delete_package requests
Published Jun 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in WP Travel Engine 6.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary WordPress posts. The delete_package() function performs the post-deletion operation without checking whether the requester has permission. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful requests remove site content rather than files or database records directly.
