Description
The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.12. This is due to missing capability checks and nonce verification on AJAX actions registered under both wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks, as the base controller's getPermissions() returns an empty array and neither removeGroup nor clear are added to getNoncedMethods(), causing the authorization gate to unconditionally return true for these actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete specific records by ID or delete all records from any module's database table by unauthenticated attackers.

AI Analysis

Impact

The AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin for WordPress contains missing capability checks and nonce verification on two AJAX actions, removeGroup and clear. Because the base controller’s getPermissions() returns an empty array and neither action is listed among the nonced methods, the authorization gate always grants access. An unauthenticated user can therefore send an AJAX request and delete individual records by ID or wipe all data from any module’s database table; the consequence is loss of content and potential site disruption.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects the AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin published by wupsales. All releases up to and including version 1.4.12 are impacted. Versions newer than 1.4.12 have not been identified as containing the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw has a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score is less than 1 %, suggesting that exploitation is unlikely in the wild, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the attack vector is remote: any client that can reach the WordPress site’s AJAX endpoint can trigger the deletion. The lack of authentication grants the attacker the ability to delete data without authorization.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin to the latest available release where the authorization checks are restored.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the plugin or remove the removeGroup and clear AJAX actions by adding code to deregister these hooks.
  • Implement server‑side restrictions, such as firewall or .htaccess rules, that block unauthenticated POST requests to the plugin’s AJAX URLs while permitting only authenticated users.
