WordPress AI Autotagger plugin lets editors run database queries

CVE-2025-11972 · published 11 months ago
Summary

The AI Autotagger plugin for WordPress (versions up to 3.40.0) lets users with Editor or higher rights add extra commands to the site’s database. This could let them view or copy private information stored in the database. Upgrade the plugin to a newer version or remove it if you don’t need it, and limit editor access to trusted staff.

Original advisory text
Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI <= 3.40.0 - Authenticated (Editor+) SQL Injection
The Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'post_types' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.40.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
