Other vulnerabilities in AI Engine
See all- CVE-2026-75798Medium
The AI Engine WordPress plugin before version 3.7.2 does not perform an authorisation check on one of its administration-only features, relying instead on a token it hands out to anonymous visitors. This allows unauthenticated attackers to run AI queries of their own choosing against the site owner's configured provider account.
- CVE-2026-16955Medium
The AI Engine WordPress plugin before version 3.6.6 does not confine a caller-supplied file path before reading it and forwarding the contents to an external service, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to read arbitrary files from the server and exfiltrate them. This requires a non-default public API feature to be enabled; otherwise the issue is reachable by an administrator, which on multisite allows a non-super subsite administrator to read network-shared configuration and secrets.
- CVE-2026-65545High
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in AI Engine plugin up to version 3.6.8. An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts.
- CVE-2026-12510Medium
The AI Engine WordPress plugin before version 3.5.5 does not verify that a user owns the chatbot conversation referenced by a client-supplied identifier, allowing users with subscriber-level access to read other users' private conversations and take over their conversation records when the discussions feature is enabled.
