Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Karolis Narvilas.

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.
