CVE-2026-16953AI Engine < 3.6.4 - Unauthenticated Cross-Session Chatbot File Deletion via Forgeable Session Cookie

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown AI Engine. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

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.
