CVE-2026-6393
The BetterDocs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 4.3.11.
Impact
The BetterDocs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 4.3.11. This is due to a missing capability check in the generate_openai_content_callback() function, which relies solely on a nonce rather than verifying user permissions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to trigger OpenAI API calls using the site's configured API key with arbitrary user-controlled prompts, leading to unauthorized consumption of the site owner's paid AI API quota.
