Wikipedia says that the equilibrium $$ceH2O2 + CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COOOH + H2O$$ occurs. What is its mechanism?
The following is my speculation.
The first possibility is that $ceCH3COOH$ is protonated into $ceCH3CO(OH2)+$ because of the strong acid condition and then turns into $ceCH3C+O$. Because the oxygen atom in $ceH2O2$ is electron rich, it will bond with the carbon atom with positive charge to form $ceCH3C(=O)O(OH+)H$ and then peracetic acid is formed by deprotonation.
The second one is that the oxygen atom in $ceH2O2$ attacks the carbon atom in $ceMeCOOH$, then the $ceOH$ in $ceCOOH$ and
one of the $ce H$ in $ce H2O2$ leave.
Is the mechanism above right or not? If it is not, what's the correct one?

You are not too far off. It is somewhat of a mixture of the two mechanisms you proposed. The carbonyl oxygen is much more basic than the non-carbonyl oxygen and will be protonated preferentially. Then hydrogen peroxide can attack, and once the tetrahedral intermediate collapses, deprotonation yields peracetic acid.
