CVE-2024-10530
The Kognetiks Chatbot for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the add_new_assistant() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.7.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
