AI Puffer <= 2.4.89 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Global Plugin Settings Modification via ajax_save_cpt_indexing_options AJAX Endpoint

The AI Puffer – Chat. Create. Automate. (formerly AI Power) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.89. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify global plugin indexing and vector-search configuration options (aipkit_training_general_settings and aipkit_indexing_field_settings), including chunking parameters, file upload visibility, and per-CPT field indexing settings, affecting all users of the plugin. This is only exploitable in configurations where an administrator has granted 'sources' module access to a lower-privileged role via the plugin's Role Manager.

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. None of that substitutes for the fix: AI Puffer 2.4.90 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
