AIKTP <= 5.0.04 — Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Multiple Administrator Actions

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under AIKTP.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.

What to do

1. Update to version 5.0.05, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch AIKTP to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Osvaldo Noe Gonzalez Del Rio (Os).

The AIKTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing authorization checks on the /aiktp/getToken REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.04. The endpoint uses the 'verify_user_logged_in' as a permission callback, which only checks if a user is logged in, but fails to verify if the user has administrative capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to retrieve the administrator's 'aiktpz_token' access token, which can then be used to create posts, upload media library files, and access private content as the administrator.
