CVE-2023-2742
The AI ChatBot WordPress plugin before 4.5.5 does not sanitize and escape its settings, allowing high-privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
