DescriptionCVE.org

The wpForo Forum WordPress plugin before 3.1.2 does not verify that an AI chat conversation belongs to the requesting user before deleting its messages, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to permanently delete the stored AI chat message history of any other user.

AnalysisAI

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in the wpForo Forum WordPress plugin before 3.1.2 allows any subscriber-level authenticated user to permanently delete the AI chat message history of arbitrary other users by submitting deletion requests without ownership verification. The plugin's AI chat message deletion endpoint does not validate that the targeted conversation belongs to the requesting user, enabling low-privilege account holders to cause irreversible data loss across the platform. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid subscriber-level account on the target WordPress site (PR:L per CVSS), meaning the attacker must be registered and logged in - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L accurately reflects the attack surface: network-reachable, low complexity, but gated by the need for a subscriber-level account, and limited to integrity and availability impacts with no confidentiality exposure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers a free subscriber-level account on a WordPress site running wpForo Forum with AI chat enabled. Using the publicly available proof-of-concept, the attacker iterates through conversation or message identifiers belonging to other users and submits deletion requests, permanently erasing their AI chat histories. …
Remediation Update the wpForo Forum WordPress plugin to version 3.1.2 or later immediately, as confirmed by the vendor advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
