What is CVE-2026-75798?
The AI Engine plugin for WordPress prior to version 3.7.2 lacks essential authorization checks on specific administrative features. Instead of validating permissions, it issues a token to anonymous users. This design flaw permits unauthenticated attackers to execute AI queries on behalf of the site owner, potentially compromising the security of the provider account configured in the plugin.
Affected Version(s)
AI Engine 3.4.0 < 3.7.2
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
