GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

FKIE_CVE-2026-12729

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-03 02:16 - Updated: 2026-07-06 18:02
Severity
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Summary
The weDocs: AI Powered Knowledge Base, Docs, Documentation, Wiki & AI Chatbot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 2.3.0. This is due to a missing capability check on the do_migration() function registered as the wedocs_migrate_betterdocs_to_wedocs AJAX action, which performs no nonce verification via check_ajax_referer() and no capability check via current_user_can() before executing sensitive operations. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to trigger a full BetterDocs-to-weDocs data migration, creating and modifying 'docs' custom post type entries with attacker-controlled titles, updating site options, and deactivating the BetterDocs and BetterDocs Pro plugins via deactivate_plugins().
