Contributor-level state overwrite via permissive AI routes
Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026
Incorrect authorization in All in One SEO before 4.9.9 allows remote authenticated users to alter site-wide AI integration state. The aioseo/v1/ai/auth and aioseo/v1/ai/deactivate REST routes accept Contributor requests, letting auth replace the global access token and deactivate reset AI settings. Contributor access and a valid WordPress REST nonce are required; Subscribers and unauthenticated requests are rejected.
