AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10901 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the Originality.ai AI Checker WordPress plugin (up to version 1.0.16). The 'ai_get_table' function lacks proper capability checks, enabling authenticated users with minimal privileges (Subscriber or above) to access sensitive data stored in the plugin's logging database table. This exposure includes post titles, scan scores, and usage credits. The vulnerability is network exploitable with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Integrity and availability are not impacted, and the vulnerability is scoped to the same security domain.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level WordPress access can read sensitive plugin data from the wp_originalityai_log table, potentially exposing information about content originality scans and usage metrics. There is no impact on data integrity or availability. The confidentiality impact is limited but could reveal internal plugin usage details.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the plugin if sensitive data exposure is a concern.
