Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the Hyve Lite plugin (versions up to and including 2.0.2) to be installed and active on a reachable WordPress site, and the attacker must invoke the affected object-referencing feature while supplying a user-controlled identifier (the direct object reference) for a resource they do not own. Per PR:N/UI:N, no authentication or user interaction is needed. The principal LIMITING factor is impact scope: only a Low integrity effect is possible (VC:N/VA:N), so the attacker cannot read confidential data or disrupt availability through this flaw; realistic risk is confined to unauthorized modification of chatbot-related records.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity authorization bypass (IDOR, CWE-639) in the Themeisle Hyve Lite WordPress AI chatbot plugin, scored CVSS 4.0 6.9. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction - signals that normally raise priority. However, the impact is deliberately narrow: only integrity is affected and only at a Low level (VI:L), with no confidentiality (VC:N) and no availability (VA:N) impact, and no scope change to subsequent systems. There is no EPSS score provided, the CVE is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The sole intelligence source is Patchstack. In short, the easy-to-reach unauthenticated vector keeps this above trivial, but the limited integrity-only impact and absence of any exploitation or POC evidence mean this is a 'patch in normal cadence' issue rather than an emergency - the high reachability is counterbalanced by low technical impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends crafted requests to the Hyve Lite plugin endpoint, substituting an object identifier (a user-controlled key) to reference records belonging to other users or contexts they should not be able to modify. Because the plugin incorrectly validates access-control levels, the attacker achieves a limited integrity impact such as altering or injecting chatbot-related data. No public POC is referenced, and the integrity impact is rated Low, limiting the blast radius.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026

Authorization bypass in Themeisle's AI Chatbot for WordPress - Hyve Lite plugin (versions through 2.0.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to modify chatbot-related records they do not own by supplying a user-controlled object identifier, per the assessed CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. This is a moderate-severity IDOR (CWE-639) tracked as CVE-2026-97305 and scored CVSS 4.0 6.9; exploitation is limited to a Low integrity impact, with no confidentiality or availability effect, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified for this issue in the available data at time of analysis. Site administrators should monitor the Themeisle Hyve Lite plugin page and the linked Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/hyve-lite/vulnerability/wordpress-ai-chatbot-for-wordpress-hyve-lite-plugin-2-0-2-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for an updated release that includes server-side authorization checks on the affected object-referencing feature. Until a fixed version is available, restrict access to the chatbot endpoints using server or WAF rules that block unauthenticated requests carrying tampered object identifiers, and consider temporarily deactivating the plugin on sites where the chatbot functionality is not essential; these mitigations trade off chatbot availability or require tuning to avoid blocking legitimate traffic. Because the impact is limited to unauthorized modification with no confidentiality or availability effect, prioritize an upgrade as soon as a patched version is published rather than relying solely on network filtering.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) rooted in CWE-639, Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key. The Hyve Lite WordPress plugin exposes a chatbot-related feature that accepts an identifier for a resource (such as a chatbot conversation, setting, or record) and acts on it without verifying that the requesting user is authorized to modify that specific object. Because the CVSS vector contains PR:N and UI:N, the vulnerable code path is reachable without authentication or user interaction; the attacker only needs to invoke the feature with a key belonging to another user or resource. The CVSS 4.0 vector further shows VC:N, VI:L, and VA:N, meaning the practical consequence is unauthorized modification of plugin-managed data rather than data disclosure or denial of service. The associated CPE string, cpe:2.3:a:themeisle:ai_chatbot_for_wordpress_-_hyve_lite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, confirms the affected component is the Themeisle Hyve Lite plugin for WordPress.
