High CVSS 7.2

CVE-2026-75796

The AI Engine WordPress plugin before 3.6.1 does not verify that the requesting user is authorized to act on the targeted account before performing privileged user management operations, allowing users with the Administrator role on a Multisite sub-site to take over any account on the network, including the Network Administrator's.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
Privilege handling is faulty, so an account ends up with more rights than intended.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
