CVE-2025-5018Network attack vector

Subscriber-level secret exposure via unchecked AJAX handlers

Published Jun 6, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in Hive Support 1.2.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read and alter AI chat settings. The hs_update_ai_chat_settings() and hive_lite_support_get_all_binbox() AJAX handlers process requests without capability checks, exposing the OpenAI API key and inspection data and permitting changes to prompts and chatbot behavior. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; reported consequences are limited to data disclosure and chatbot configuration changes, with no code execution or service interruption reported.
