CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin for WordPress is critically vulnerable to authorization bypass, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create an administrator-level user account and take full control of affected sites. This issue affects all versions up to and including 1.5.6, particularly on sites where the [aiwu-form] shortcode or public chatbot is displayed, as it exposes a nonce value in publicly accessible JavaScript. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and potential site compromise.

Original NVD Description

The AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create a new administrator-level user account and achieve full site takeover by saving and executing a malicious workflow containing a wp_create_user action node specifying role=administrator. This vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers on any site where the [aiwu-form] shortcode or public chatbot is rendered on a frontend page, as the waic-nonce value is emitted into publicly accessible JavaScript (WAIC_DATA.waicNonce) on those pages, rendering the nonce check a non-functional authorization barrier.
