Descriptions

The 10Web AI Assistant – AI content writing assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the install_plugin AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.18. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to install arbitrary plugins that can be used to gain further access to a compromised site.

El complemento 10Web AI Assistant – AI content writing assistant para WordPress es vulnerable a modificaciones no autorizadas de datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la acción install_plugin AJAX en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0.18 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso a nivel de suscriptor y superior, instalen complementos arbitrarios que pueden usarse para obtener más acceso a un sitio comprometido.
