Yes, you should be concerned.... And I think it is a little frustrating that from your form you have not made any changes to husbandry in the last month since you were given very very specific feedback in this thread you did. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/rate-my-chameleons-set-up.174268/
Your husbandry is not adequate to support a chameleon. Lighting, supplements and the enclosure itself has to be set up correctly. Why would you have a dried out dead plant in there?

It wasn't dead when it started out but it eventually died but Thanos likes to sit on it.

I have been trying to make as many changes as I can but during quarantine and not having a steady source of income I'm really trying my best. I have made more changes since my last husbandry and I'm am really trying to do everything I can.
I suggest you go back to that original thread... You need to upgrade your UVB lighting, supplements, and gutload now. All these items can be ordered on amazon. If you can't afford lighting then at least get the correct supplements. I understand times are hard but without the correct husbandry your cham will get sick and die. Not trying to be harsh just being honest.
As far as the worm you found on him. I have no idea what it would be but I would be worried about it and the only way to know for sure what it was and if it cham from the cham is an experienced reptile vet. That being said it could have come from your enclosure as well. I do not know what your working with now that is in the enclosure or what your cleaning practices are.

I gutload crickets with Flukers cricket supplements.
It is not an adequate gutload... It provides water and that is about it.
You can use a variety of fresh veg or commercial gutloads like repashy bug burger.
