Planyo online reservation system <= 3.0 - Unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery via 'ulap_url' Parameter

The Planyo Online Reservation System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery leading to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.0. The ulap.php file acts as an AJAX proxy and is directly accessible without WordPress bootstrapping or any authentication. The send_http_post() function validates the host of the provided URL against an allowlist that includes 'localhost', but critically fails to validate the URL scheme/protocol. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply a file:// URL (e.g., file://localhost/etc/passwd) which bypasses the host allowlist check because parse_url() returns 'localhost' as the host. The URL is then passed to curl_init() or fopen(), both of which support the file:// protocol, allowing the attacker to read arbitrary local files on the server and have their contents returned in the HTTP response. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive files such as /etc/passwd, wp-config.php (containing database credentials and authentication keys), and other server-side files.

How to fix it

Planyo online reservation system is affected by CVE-2026-3576, a server-side request forgery issue in versions up to 3.0. Wordfence lists the official remediation as updating to version 3.1, or a newer patched version. Prioritize internet-facing WordPress sites, sites with public registration, customer portals, Elementor/page-builder surfaces, reservation or booking workflows, and admin workflows where the vulnerable feature is enabled. If immediate patching is not possible, disable the affected plugin or feature, restrict access, and monitor for exploitation until the update is installed.

  1. Inventory every WordPress site that has Planyo online reservation system installed, including production, staging, multisite, client, WooCommerce, marketplace, and booking environments.
  2. Confirm the installed Planyo online reservation system version and compare it with the affected range from the Wordfence advisory.
  3. Update Planyo online reservation system to version 3.1, or to a newer vendor-supported patched version from the official WordPress update channel.
  4. If the update cannot be applied immediately, disable Planyo online reservation system or the affected feature and restrict access with roles, authentication, WAF rules, or temporary route blocking.
  5. Review outbound HTTP logs, webhook activity, metadata endpoint access, internal service requests, and unusual callbacks triggered by the WordPress site.
  6. Rotate administrator sessions, API keys, webhook secrets, payment or integration tokens, and affected credentials if logs or content review suggest compromise.
  7. Clear WordPress, object, CDN, page-builder, security plugin, WooCommerce, and browser caches after patching so vulnerable assets or stored payloads are not served.

Verify the fix

  • Confirm the running Planyo online reservation system version is version 3.1 or newer, and record the patched version in the remediation ticket.
  • Verify attackers cannot make the site request arbitrary internal, metadata, loopback, or private-network URLs through the affected feature.
  • Review web server, WordPress, security plugin, WAF, database, WooCommerce, and application logs for exploitation attempts before and after the fix.
  • Retest normal visitor, subscriber, customer, vendor, editor, administrator, checkout, form, API, booking, reservation, invoice, or integration workflows to confirm expected behavior still works.
  • Run a fresh Fixnx scan and document the public exposure state, patched version, log review, and any cleanup evidence.
