# CVE-2026-4290: WP Travel Pro \<= 10.6.0 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Deletion Including Administrators

- Severity: CVSS 9.1 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no

## Affected

- WPTravel WP Travel Pro: through 10.6.0

## Description

The WP Travel Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary user deletion via the /wp-json/wp-travel/v1/travel-guide/{user_id} REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 10.6.0. This is due to the check_permission() callback unconditionally returning true and the Database::delete() method passing the user ID directly to wp_delete_user() without any role validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary user accounts, including those of administrators.
