CVE-2024-2538
The Permalink Manager Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'ajax_save_permalink' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.3.1.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
