Executive Summary

CVE-2025-69388 is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WordPress Cliengo – Chatbot Plugin versions up to and including 3.0.4.

The issue arises from missing authorization, authentication, or nonce token checks within certain plugin functions.

This allows unprivileged users, such as those with only subscriber-level access, to perform actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles.

It is classified under the OWASP Top 10 category A1: Broken Access Control.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers with low-level privileges to perform unauthorized actions within the Cliengo – Chatbot plugin.

Such unauthorized actions could compromise the security and integrity of your WordPress site by bypassing intended access controls.

Since the vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, it represents a moderate risk and has a reasonable likelihood of exploitation.

Without proper mitigation or patching, attackers could exploit this to manipulate chatbot functions or gain further access.
