Descriptions

The AI Engine: Chatbots, Generators, Assistants, GPT 4 and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'add_image_from_url' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

El complemento AI Engine: Chatbots, Generators, Assistants, GPT 4 and more! para WordPress es vulnerable a la carga de archivos arbitrarios debido a la falta de validación del tipo de archivo en la función 'add_image_from_url' en todas las versiones hasta la 2.1.4 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de editor y superior, carguen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor del sitio afectado, lo que puede hacer posible la ejecución remota de código.
