CVE-2026-24607

Vulnerability

Overview CVE-2026-24607 details a missing authorization vulnerability in the Travel Monster theme for WordPress, versions up to and including 1.3.3 [1]. The issue stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels within the theme's code, which fails to properly enforce authorization checks before allowing access to certain functions or data [1].

Exploitation

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability without requiring any special privileges, as the missing authorization allows unauthenticated or low-privileged users to perform actions intended for higher-privileged roles [1]. The attack surface is accessible over the network, and the theme's widespread use in WordPress installations makes it a target for mass-exploit campaigns that scan for vulnerable sites [1].

Impact

A successful exploit allows an attacker to bypass intended access restrictions, potentially viewing or modifying sensitive information, or performing administrative actions on the affected site [1]. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity (CVSS 5.3), but its ease of exploitation and lack of authentication requirements increase the risk for unpatched sites [1].

Mitigation

The vendor has released a fix for versions prior to 1.3.3; users are strongly advised to update their Travel Monster theme to the latest available version [1]. For those unable to update immediately, contacting the hosting provider or a web developer for temporary workarounds is recommended [1].
