Authorization Bypass in Alt Text AI Plugin for WordPress
CVE-2026-91108

4.3MEDIUM

What is CVE-2026-91108?

The Alt Text AI plugin for WordPress is susceptible to an authorization bypass issue. This vulnerability arises from inadequate user validation, which allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to alter post content across the site, including posts they do not own. Attackers can implement LLM-generated text containing their own keywords, facilitating black-hat SEO tactics and unauthorized usage of the site owner’s paid AltText.ai API credits. The vulnerability is exacerbated by the exposure of a nonce on accessible admin pages, making it easy for any authenticated user to obtain and exploit it.
