Published Mar 6, 2026

Modified 1 months ago

Details

The HUMN-1 AI Website Scanner & Human Certification by Winston AI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the winston_disconnect() function in all versions up to, and including, 0.0.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to reset the plugin's API connection settings via the 'winston_disconnect' AJAX action.
