CVE-2024-13361Network attack vector

Subscriber-level shortcode execution via unchecked image metadata

Published Jan 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in AI Puffer 1.8.96 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute embedded shortcodes through image metadata. The wpaicg_save_image_media function accepts subscriber requests without a capability check, uploads an image, and stores shortcode attributes in image_alt for execution on an attachment-page POST. Subscriber-level WordPress access and a crafted authenticated POST are required; execution is bounded by the installed shortcodes and their privileges.
