← All vulnerabilities

Summary

The AI Content Generator Marketing WordPress plugin up to and including version 1.0.0 does not enforce a nonce or capability check on some of its AJAX actions.

Affected

  • Vendor: Unknown

Fixed in

No known fix.

Workaround

  • Deactivate and delete the plugin if it is not essential.

Our recommendation
