Descriptions

The Post Meta Data Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the pmdm_wp_ajax_delete_meta, pmdm_wp_delete_user_meta, and pmdm_wp_delete_user_meta functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary user, term, and post meta via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

El complemento Post Meta Data Manager para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Request Forgery en todas las versiones hasta la 1.2.1 incluida. Esto se debe a que falta la validación nonce en las funciones pmdm_wp_ajax_delete_meta, pmdm_wp_delete_user_meta y pmdm_wp_delete_user_meta. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados eliminen usuarios, términos y publicaciones meta arbitrarios a través de una solicitud falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar al administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace.
