# CVE-2026-12729: weDocs: AI Powered Knowledge Base, Docs, Documentation, Wiki & AI Chatbot \<= 2.3.0 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Data Migration via wedocs\_migrate\_betterdocs\_to\_wedocs AJAX Action

- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no

## Affected

- wedevs weDocs: AI Powered Knowledge Base, Docs, Documentation, Wiki & AI Chatbot: through 2.3.0

## Description

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().
