DescriptionCVE.org

The AI Engine - The Chatbot, AI Framework & MCP for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.7 via the 'mediaId' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access and retrieve the transcribed contents of private audio attachments belonging to other users, including Administrators, via a supplied attachment ID. This vulnerability requires the Public API module to be enabled in the plugin settings; when disabled, the REST route is absent and the endpoint returns HTTP 404.

AnalysisAI

Insecure Direct Object Reference in the AI Engine WordPress plugin (tigroumeow, versions ≤3.7.7) allows authenticated subscribers to retrieve transcribed text from private audio attachments owned by any WordPress user, including site administrators. The mediaId REST API parameter accepts user-supplied attachment IDs without verifying the requester's ownership or access rights, enabling systematic enumeration of sequential WordPress attachment IDs. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: (1) a valid WordPress account with at minimum subscriber-level role - unauthenticated access is not possible; (2) the AI Engine plugin's 'Public API' module must be explicitly enabled in plugin settings - when disabled, the REST route does not exist and requests return HTTP 404, completely blocking exploitation; (3) target users must have uploaded audio attachments for which the plugin has generated transcriptions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD/Wordfence CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) is largely accurate. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update the AI Engine plugin to a version beyond 3.7.7; the fix has been committed to the WordPress Plugin SVN repository in changeset 3693379 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3693379) - verify the current latest published version in the WordPress Plugin Repository and apply it via the WordPress admin dashboard. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
