Sensitive Information Exposure in AIWU WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-05

Last updated on: 2026-08-05

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.6. This is due to the `getCurrentTaskResults()` method in `modules/workspace/controller.php` being accessible without authentication or authorization checks. The method is not included in the workspace controller's `getNoncedMethods()` array, the base `getPermissions()` returns an empty array, and all AJAX actions are registered with `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks (`classes/frame.php:282`). When tasks are created via features like the Bulk Post Generator, the task parameters — including the OpenAI API key in plaintext, AI prompts, keywords, and full AI model configuration — are stored in the database and returned in the JSON response. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sequential task IDs and retrieve sensitive configuration data including API keys.

Executive Summary

The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation plugin for WordPress has a flaw where sensitive data like OpenAI API keys and AI prompts are exposed without authentication. Attackers can access this data by exploiting unauthenticated AJAX endpoints that retrieve task results from the database.

Detection Guidance

Check WordPress sites for the AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation plugin versions up to 1.4.6. Inspect network traffic for unauthenticated AJAX requests to getCurrentTaskResults(). Look for exposed API keys or sensitive data in JSON responses from sequential task IDs.

Impact Analysis

Unauthenticated attackers can steal API keys and configuration details, leading to unauthorized API usage, data breaches, or further attacks. Compromised API keys may incur costs or allow attackers to manipulate AI-generated content.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could violate GDPR by exposing personal data or HIPAA by leaking sensitive information. Organizations may face fines for failing to protect confidential data under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the plugin to the latest version if available. If not, disable the plugin until a patch is released. Review and restrict database access to prevent unauthorized task ID enumeration. Rotate any exposed OpenAI API keys.
