CVE-2024-0116 is a vulnerability in NVIDIA Triton Inference Server that allows a user to trigger an out-of-bounds read (accessing memory outside the intended range) by releasing a shared memory region while another part of the program is still using it. A successful attack could cause a denial of service (making the service unavailable), though the severity rating has not yet been officially assigned.

Langflow up to version 1.0.18 contains a vulnerability in its HTTP POST Request Handler that causes inefficient regular expression complexity (ReDoS, a type of denial-of-service attack where maliciously crafted input makes pattern-matching code run very slowly) when processing the 'remaining_text' argument. The vulnerability has a CVSS score (a 0-10 rating of how severe a vulnerability is) of 5.1 (medium severity) and has been publicly disclosed, though the vendor did not respond to early notification.

A WordPress plugin called 'AI ChatBot with ChatGPT and Content Generator by AYS' (versions before 2.1.0) has a security flaw where it doesn't properly check who is allowed to perform certain actions. This means someone without a user account can disconnect the plugin from OpenAI (the AI service it relies on), effectively breaking the chatbot. The vulnerable actions include connecting, disconnecting, and saving feedback.

A WordPress plugin called 'AI ChatBot with ChatGPT and Content Generator by AYS' versions before 2.1.0 has a vulnerability where it exposes the OpenAI API key (a secret credential used to access OpenAI's services) in cleartext (unencrypted, readable form), allowing anyone without authentication (login access) to steal it. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-7713 and was reported on September 27, 2024.

CVE-2024-4099 is a vulnerability in GitLab EE (a Git repository management tool) affecting versions 16.0-17.2.7, 17.3-17.3.3, and 17.4-17.4.0 where an AI feature failed to clean up unsanitized input, potentially allowing attackers to perform prompt injection (tricking the AI by hiding instructions in its input). The vulnerability has a CVSS score (a 0-10 severity rating) of 4.0, indicating low to moderate severity.

Monica AI Assistant desktop application v2.3.0 has a vulnerability where attackers can use prompt injection (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) with a specially crafted image to steal sensitive chat data from the current session and send it to an attacker-controlled server. This flaw allows unauthorized people to access private information from users' conversations.

The Chatbot with ChatGPT WordPress plugin before version 2.4.6 has a missing authorization flaw in one of its REST endpoints (a web interface for accessing the plugin's functions), which allows unauthenticated users (anyone without login credentials) to retrieve and decode an OpenAI API key (a secret credential that grants access to OpenAI's services). This vulnerability exposes the API key to attackers.

CVE-2024-40442 is a privilege escalation vulnerability (a security flaw where an attacker gains higher access levels than they should have) in Doccano v.1.8.4 and its Auto Labeling Pipeline module v.0.1.23. A remote attacker can exploit this weakness by sending a specially crafted REST request (a malicious command sent over the web), which involves improper code injection (inserting malicious code into the system).

CVE-2024-40441 is a privilege escalation vulnerability (a bug that lets attackers gain higher-level access than they should have) in Doccano v.1.8.4, an open source tool for labeling data to train machine learning models, and its Auto Labeling Pipeline module v.0.1.23. A remote attacker can exploit this by manipulating the model_attribs parameter to escalate their privileges.
