Summary
The AI Puffer plugin for WordPress by senols is affected up to and including 2.4.89. Missing authorization (CWE-862) in the ajax_save_cpt_indexing_options AJAX endpoint lets authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher change global indexing and vector-search settings that affect all users of the plugin. The flaw is exploitable only where an administrator has granted 'sources' module access to a lower-privileged role through the Role Manager.

Description from the CNA
The AI Puffer – Chat. Create. Automate. (formerly AI Power) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.89. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify global plugin indexing and vector-search configuration options (aipkit_training_general_settings and aipkit_indexing_field_settings), including chunking parameters, file upload visibility, and per-CPT field indexing settings, affecting all users of the plugin. This is only exploitable in configurations where an administrator has granted 'sources' module access to a lower-privileged role via the plugin's Role Manager.
