At a glance
CVE-2026-4038 is a critical-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.7.5. It carries a CVSS score of 9.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 2.7.6; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2026, reported by bashu.
Vulnerability Overview
The Aimogen Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Function Call that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'aiomatic_call_ai_function_realtime' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to call arbitrary WordPress functions such as 'update_option' to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
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 privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit <= 2.7.5 carries this weakness at aiomatic_call_ai_function_realtime, and reaching it takes no account at all. 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. For Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit the fix is 2.7.6: builds <= 2.7.5 are affected, anything from 2.7.6 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.7.6, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit 2.7.6 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
