Technical Summary

The AI ChatBot with ChatGPT and Content Generator by AYS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on the store_data() and get_chatgpt_api_key() functions in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view, modify or delete the plugin's ChatGPT API key. The vulnerability was partially fixed in version 2.7.5 and fully fixed in version 2.7.6

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 5.3). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
