Unauthenticated log deletion via unprotected REST routes
Published Sep 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Missing authorization in Webdigit Chatbot with ChatGPT WordPress before 2.4.5 allows remote attackers to delete error and chat logs. The purge-error-logs and purge-chat-logs REST routes accept unauthenticated POST requests and invoke privileged log-deletion actions without validating access. Any network client that can reach the WordPress REST API can erase the affected site's stored diagnostic and conversation history.
