Descriptions

AI Engine < 2.4.3 is susceptible to remote-code-execution (RCE) via Log Poisoning. The AI Engine WordPress plugin before 2.5.1 fails to validate the file extension of "logs_path", allowing Administrators to change log filetypes from .log to .php.

The AI Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.0 via the /wp-json/mwai/v1/settings/update REST API endpoint. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a log path file extension allowing a user to set the log extension as .php making the file executable. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
