CVE-2024-0451
CWE-284Published: May 22, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The AI ChatBot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the openai_file_list_callback function in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to list files existing in a linked OpenAI account.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-0451 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
