CVE-2026-16953 PUBLISHED

AI Engine < 3.6.4 - Unauthenticated Cross-Session Chatbot File Deletion via Forgeable Session Cookie

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 24.07.2026 Published: 08.08.2026 Updated: 08.08.2026

The AI Engine WordPress plugin before 3.6.4 does not verify ownership of a guest's uploaded chatbot files before deletion, authorising the action solely by a client-supplied session cookie value, so an unauthenticated attacker who obtains a victim's session identifier and file reference can delete that victim's uploaded files.
