  name: AI Assistant with ChatGPT by AYS <= 2.0.9 - Unauthenticated AJAX Calls
  author: s4e-io
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The plugin lacks sufficient access controls allowing an unauthenticated user to disconnect the plugin from OpenAI, thereby disabling the plugin. Multiple actions are accessible: ays_chatgpt_disconnect, ays_chatgpt_connect, and ays_chatgpt_save_feedback

    Unauthenticated attackers can disconnect the plugin from OpenAI and manipulate plugin settings through unprotected AJAX endpoints, causing denial of service and disrupting ChatGPT assistant functionality.
