Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVE CVE-2025-11749
CVSS Critical (9.8)
Publicly Published November 4, 2025
Last Updated November 5, 2025
Researcher Emiliano Versini
Description

The AI Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.3 via the /mcp/v1/ REST API endpoint that exposes the 'Bearer Token' value when 'No-Auth URL' is enabled. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the bearer token, which can be used to gain access to a valid session and perform many actions like creating a new administrator account, leading to privilege escalation.
