Vulnerabilidad de falta de autorización en Brainstorm Force Pre-Publish Checklist. Este problema afecta a Pre-Publish Checklist: desde n/a hasta 1.1.1.

The Pre-Publish Checklist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 via the ppc_meta_box_ajax_add_handler and ppc_meta_box_ajax_delete_handler functions due to missing validation on a user controlled key.
