The AIKTP plugin for WordPress contains a missing authorization check on the /aiktp/getToken REST API endpoint. The endpoint only verifies that a user is logged in, not that the user has administrative capabilities. As a result, any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher can retrieve the administrator's access token. This token enables the attacker to create posts, upload media files, and access private content with administrator privileges, effectively giving them full control over the site's content management without proper authorization.

WordPress sites running the AIKTP plugin version 5.0.04 or earlier. The vulnerability affects the AIKTP plugin shipped under the vendor aiktp, identified as AIKTP up to and including version 5.0.04.

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity vulnerability. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to be authenticated with at least Subscriber privileges. Once authenticated, the attacker can call the vulnerable endpoint to obtain an administrator token and then perform privileged actions. The lack of a strict permission check makes the attack straightforward for anyone with valid credentials, but the limited exploitation probability keeps the immediate risk moderate.
