Tourfic Pro WordPress plugin: Privilege escalation to administrator
Summary
Tourfic Pro up to and including version 1.17.3, a WordPress add-on for booking hotels, tours and car rentals, contains an incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). An attacker can gain higher WordPress privileges, which may allow full control of the website and stored customer or booking data. The CVE description says unauthenticated, but the CVSS vector requires low privileges (PR:L), so the exact precondition is unconfirmed. The CVSS score is 8.8 and Patchstack rates the issue as high priority.
Affected

- Vendor name in the CVE record: Tourfic AI Studio (Themefic is the likely vendor)
Fixed in
Unknown. No fixed Pro version has been confirmed. Patchstack lists no official patch available.
Workaround
Unknown. No vendor workaround has been published. Possible interim measures:
- Disable public user or vendor registration in the Tourfic settings if not needed
- Review administrator and vendor accounts for unexpected role changes
- Restrict or monitor access to plugin endpoints with a web application firewall
- Virtual patching via a WAF or a security plugin rule, if available
Exploitation

Our recommendation
- Inventory all WordPress sites running Tourfic Pro and confirm the installed version
- If affected, restrict registration and review user accounts and roles for unexpected changes
- Apply interim protections such as a WAF rule until a fixed Pro version is confirmed and tested
- Update to the first fixed Pro version as soon as the vendor releases it
- Monitor logs for role changes and unusual administrative activity
