- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- assistioai Assistio: through 1.1.2

## Description

The Assistio plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification on the assistio_plugin_delete_assistio_settings() function in versions up to, and including, 1.1.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete the plugin's options including the critical 'assistiobot_oauth_settings' option, which disrupts the plugin's integration with the Assistio bot service.
