Technical details
The WP Travel Engine plugin for WordPress fails to properly validate the source path of a user-supplied profile image before performing a file move operation. Specifically, the 'user_profile_image' parameter in the 'wp_travel_engine_save_account_details' action can be manipulated to point to an absolute server path of any file within the WordPress uploads directory. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level privileges can exploit this to move existing media files into their own profile image directory. Because the operation is a 'move' rather than a 'copy', the original file is deleted from its source location, leading to a loss of integrity and availability for site assets. This is classified as an External Control of File Name or Path (CWE-73). The issue is fixed in version 6.8.1.
