Vulnerability Overview

The Ai Auto Tool Content Writing Assistant (Gemini Writer, ChatGPT ) All in One plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the save_post_data() function in versions 2.0.7 to 2.3.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create and publish arbitrary posts.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Ai Auto Tool Content Writing Assistant All in One 2.0.7 – 2.3.0 carries this weakness at save_post_data(), and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Ai Auto Tool Content Writing Assistant All in One yet, so installs running 2.0.7 – 2.3.0 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.

Remediation

No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. No patched version is recorded yet, which is the case where a filtering layer matters most, because there is nothing to update to.
