WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

AI Engine < 3.7.9 - Editor+ Arbitrary Post Deletion via reject_media

Description

The plugin does not check that the item passed to one of its media actions belongs to the requesting user before converting it to an attachment and permanently deleting it, allowing users with the Editor role and above to delete arbitrary posts of any type, including content they cannot otherwise delete such as navigation menus, block templates and global styles.
