CVE-2026-24940: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2026-24940 is a Missing Authorization (Broken Access Control) vulnerability in the Themefic Travelfic Toolkit WordPress plugin. It affects all versions up to and including 1.3.3, allowing authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber level) to perform actions beyond their intended access level. The vulnerability was reported on October 27, 2025, by researcher Que Thanh Tuan and published on February 3, 2026. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) (Patchstack, EUVD).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to properly verify whether an authenticated user has the appropriate permissions before executing certain privileged actions. An attacker with at minimum a Subscriber-level WordPress account can exploit this over the network without any special conditions or user interaction, by sending crafted requests to plugin endpoints that lack proper authorization checks. The flaw is categorized under OWASP Top 10 A1: Broken Access Control (Patchstack).

Successful exploitation results in a low integrity impact — an authenticated low-privileged user can perform unauthorized actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles, such as administrators. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact. While the individual impact is limited, vulnerabilities of this class are commonly leveraged in mass-exploit campaigns targeting large numbers of WordPress sites simultaneously, regardless of site size or popularity (Patchstack).

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation has been reported for this vulnerability. The EPSS score is approximately 0.029% (0.000290), indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Patchstack classifies this as low priority with unlikely exploitation impact (Patchstack).

The vendor Themefic has released version 1.3.4 of the Travelfic Toolkit plugin, which resolves this vulnerability. Site administrators should update the plugin to version 1.3.4 or later immediately. Patchstack users can enable auto-update for vulnerable plugins as an additional safeguard. If an immediate update is not possible, site owners should consult their hosting provider or web developer for assistance (Patchstack).
