CVE-2024-0385
The Categorify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the categorifyAjaxAddCategory function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7.4.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
