security
Summary
The WPBot plugin for WordPress (a platform for building websites) has a security flaw where it doesn't properly check if users have permission to perform certain actions, allowing subscribers and higher-level users to re-embed stored RAG documents (external documents that an AI uses to answer questions). This vulnerability lets attackers waste the site owner's paid API credits (money spent on third-party AI services like OpenAI or Gemini) by triggering unnecessary document processing.
