CVE-2026-6639: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in wupsales AI Copilot – Content Generator
The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.6. This is due to the `getCurrentTaskResults()` method in `modules/workspace/controller.php` being accessible without authentication or authorization checks. The method is not included in the workspace controller's `getNoncedMethods()` array, the base `getPermissions()` returns an empty array, and all AJAX actions are registered with `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks (`classes/frame.php:282`). When tasks are created via features like the Bulk Post Generator, the task parameters — including the OpenAI API key in plaintext, AI prompts, keywords, and full AI model configuration — are stored in the database and returned in the JSON response. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sequential task IDs and retrieve sensitive configuration data including API keys.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-6639 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the AI Copilot – Content Generator WordPress plugin by wupsales. The getCurrentTaskResults() method in modules/workspace/controller.php is exposed via AJAX actions registered with wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks, lacking authentication and authorization checks. This allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sequential task IDs and retrieve sensitive information stored in the database, such as OpenAI API keys in plaintext, AI prompts, keywords, and full AI model configurations. The base getPermissions() method returns an empty array, and the vulnerable method is not protected by nonces, exacerbating the exposure risk. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.4.6. No patch or official fix has been disclosed as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can access sensitive configuration data including OpenAI API keys, AI prompts, keywords, and model configurations by enumerating task IDs. This exposure can lead to unauthorized use of API keys and compromise of AI model parameters, potentially resulting in data leakage and misuse of AI services. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but has a high confidentiality impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected plugin or disable it if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or mitigations. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted users or public access.
