ChatBot for eCommerce – WoowBot < 4.8.4 - Unauthenticated Gemini API Key Abuse via qcld_gemini_response

Description

The plugin does not perform any authorization or nonce check on one of its AJAX actions, allowing unauthenticated users to abuse the site owner's stored third-party API key to send requests billed to the owner's account and, when an optional feature is enabled, to retrieve indexed knowledge-base content.
