AI & LLM Vulnerabilities

The AI Scribe WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.3) has a vulnerability where it fails to check user permissions before allowing changes to plugin settings. This means that attackers with basic Subscriber-level access can modify the plugin's configuration without proper authorization.

The AI Scribe WordPress plugin (version 2.3 and earlier) has a SQL injection vulnerability (a flaw where attackers can insert malicious database commands) in its article builder feature that allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access to extract sensitive information from the website's database. The vulnerability exists because the plugin doesn't properly clean up user input before using it in database queries.

The AI Scribe WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.3) has a CSRF vulnerability (cross-site request forgery, where an attacker tricks a logged-in admin into unknowingly making changes to the site). Because the plugin fails to properly validate nonces (security tokens that prevent forged requests), an attacker can trick a site administrator into clicking a malicious link that changes the plugin's settings without the admin's knowledge.

Keras version 3.7.0 has a vulnerability where attackers can write arbitrary files (files placed anywhere on your system) to a user's machine by tricking the get_file function (a tool that downloads files) into downloading a malicious tar file (a compressed file format). This happens because the function doesn't properly verify that downloaded files are legitimate before using them.

LangChain4j-AIDeepin, a RAG (retrieval-augmented generation, where an AI pulls in external documents to answer questions) project, uses MD5 (a weak cryptographic hashing function) to hash files in versions before 3.5.0, which can cause file upload conflicts when different files produce the same hash value. This vulnerability has a CVSS score (a 0-10 rating of how severe a vulnerability is) of 6.9 and is classified as medium severity.

CVE-2024-56137 is a remote command execution vulnerability (a flaw that lets attackers run system commands from a distance) in MaxKB, an open source knowledge base system that uses RAG (retrieval-augmented generation, where an AI pulls in external documents to answer questions). Before version 1.9.0, privileged users could execute operating system commands through custom scripts, but this weakness has been patched in the newer version.

A WordPress plugin called Text Prompter is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS, a type of attack where harmful code is hidden in web pages and runs when users visit them) in all versions up to 1.0.7. Attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts through the plugin's shortcode feature because the plugin does not properly filter or secure user input.

A CSRF vulnerability (cross-site request forgery, where an attacker tricks a user into making unwanted requests on a website they're logged into) was found in the KCT AIKCT Engine Chatbot plugin affecting versions up to 1.6.2. The vulnerability allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions by exploiting this weakness in how the chatbot handles user requests.

A security vulnerability in Google's Vertex Gemini API (a generative AI service) affects customers using VPC-SC (VPC Service Controls, a security tool that restricts data leaving a virtual private network). An attacker could craft a malicious file path that tricks the API into sending image data outside the security perimeter, bypassing the intended protections.

Autolab is a course management system that automatically grades programming assignments. A vulnerability in versions 3.0.0 and later allows any logged-in student to download all submissions from other students or even instructor test files using the download_all_submissions feature, potentially exposing private coursework to unauthorized people.
