CVE-2024-0699
Meowapps Ai Engine ≤ 2.1.4
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-0699 is a medium-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Meowapps Ai Engine. Its CVSS base score is 6.6 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 32% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as Enterprise AI Assistants; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
The AI Engine plugin for WordPress, which provides chatbots, content generators, and GPT-based assistants, contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in all versions through 2.1.4. The flaw stems from missing file-type validation inside the add_image_from_url function (CWE-434), allowing an attacker to place arbitrary files on the server. The issue received a CVSS 6.6 rating reflecting the need for high privileges and high attack complexity.
Authenticated users holding the Editor role or above can exploit the weakness over the network to upload malicious files, which may subsequently enable remote code execution on the affected site. CVE-2024-29100 is noted as a likely duplicate of the same problem.
Public references include a Wordfence threat-intelligence entry and the WordPress plugin repository changeset 3021494 that patches classes/core.php. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0712 with no material increase after disclosure.

V5.1.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.
Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.
Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.
