What is CVE-2026-75797?
CVE-2026-75797 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Unknown AI Engine, published on 26 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The AI Engine WordPress plugin before 3.7.2 does not confine a caller-supplied URL when mapping it to a local filesystem path before reading the file and forwarding its contents to an external service, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to read arbitrary files from the server and exfiltrate them off-host. Reaching the issue at subscriber level requires a non-default public API feature to be enabled; otherwise the same issue is reachable by an administrator, which on multisite allows a non-super subsite administrator to read the network-shared configuration and its secrets.
Weakness: CWE-22
