CVE-2026-6803: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in wupsales AI Copilot – Content Generator
The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU WordPress plugin (AI Copilot – Content Generator) suffers from a missing authorization vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.4.12. Due to missing capability checks and nonce verification on certain AJAX actions, unauthenticated attackers can delete specific or all records from any module's database table. This vulnerability arises because the base controller's getPermissions() returns an empty array and critical methods are not protected by nonces, causing the authorization gate to always allow these actions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-6803 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) affecting the AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin for WordPress by wupsales. The issue exists in all versions up to and including 1.4.12 due to the absence of capability checks and nonce verification on AJAX actions registered under both wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks. The base controller's getPermissions() method returns an empty array, and methods removeGroup and clear are not included in getNoncedMethods(), resulting in an unconditional authorization grant. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to delete specific records by ID or all records from any module's database table via these AJAX actions.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can delete data records from the plugin's database tables, either selectively by ID or all records from any module. This leads to integrity loss of stored data within the affected WordPress plugin, potentially disrupting functionality or causing data loss. There is no confidentiality or availability impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected plugin's AJAX endpoints if possible, and monitor for suspicious deletion activity. Avoid using affected versions in production environments where data integrity is critical.
