8.8
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVE CVE-2025-7847
CVSS 8.8 (High)
Publicly Published July 30, 2025
Last Updated July 31, 2025
Researcher ISMAILSHADOW

Description

The AI Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the rest_simpleFileUpload() function in versions 2.9.3 and 2.9.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server when the REST API is enabled, which may make remote code execution possible.
