CVE-2023-22622

What is CVE-2023-22622?

The vulnerability affects WordPress versions up to 6.1.1, where the wp-cron.php relies on unpredictable client visits to execute security updates via scheduled tasks.

The absence of proper documentation concerning this behavior enhances the risk, as users may not be alerted to the potential security implications of minimal site visits.
