CVE-2026-87918
The WPBot WordPress plugin before 8.5.7 does not perform any authorization or nonce check on several AJAX actions that relay prompts to its configured AI providers, allowing unauthenticated attackers to make those third-party API calls, and consume the associated cost, using the site's own configured API keys.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
