Summary

The AI Engine for WordPress: ChatGPT, GPT Content Generator plugin is vulnerable to arbitrary file read in all versions up to and including 1.0.1. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths in the 'lqdai_update_post' AJAX endpoint and the use of file_get_contents() with user-controlled URLs without protocol restrictions in the insert_image() function.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or above can read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive data. This may lead to information disclosure and further attacks.

Recommendation

Upgrade the AI Engine plugin to a version later than 1.0.1. Restrict Contributor account privileges and monitor for unusual requests to AJAX endpoints.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
