CVE-2026-16953
The AI Engine WordPress plugin prior to version 3.6.4 contains a security flaw that allows unauthorized deletion of user-uploaded chatbot files. This vulnerability arises from the plugin's failure to properly authenticate the owner of these files before allowing their removal, instead relying on a session cookie value provided by the client. As a result, an attacker can exploit this weakness by obtaining a victim's session ID and file reference, then deleting the associated uploaded files without needing authentication.
