What is CVE-2025-13380?

The AI Engine for WordPress: ChatGPT plugin is susceptible to an Arbitrary File Read vulnerability due to inadequate validation of user-supplied file paths in the 'lqdai_update_post' AJAX endpoint. This issue arises from the improper use of file_get_contents() with URLs controlled by users without proper protocol restrictions within the insert_image() function. Consequently, authenticated users with Contributor-level access and higher can exploit this vulnerability to access arbitrary files on the server, potentially disclosing sensitive information.

Affected Version(s)

AI Engine for WordPress: ChatGPT, GPT Content Generator * <= 1.0.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
