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 2.8.5; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed July 2026, reported by Bao Le.
Vulnerability Overview
The Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.4. This is due to due to a missing capability check on the 'aiomatic_call_google_ai_function' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to leverage the 'aimogen_wp_god_mode' tool to clear function blacklists and execute arbitrary PHP functions, such as creating administrator accounts.
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-269: Improper Privilege Management
Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit <= 2.8.4 carries this weakness at aiomatic_call_google_ai_function, and reaching it takes no account at all. Improper privilege management means the code lets an account end up with capabilities its role should not have.
It converts a low-privileged account into an administrative one, which makes every other restriction on the site irrelevant. For Aimogen Pro - All-in-One AI Content Writer, Editor, ChatBot & Automation Toolkit the fix is 2.8.5: builds <= 2.8.4 are affected, anything from 2.8.5 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.8.5, 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 2.8.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
