CVE-2024-9588: Aftabhusain Category And Taxonomy Meta Fields

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Category and Taxonomy Meta Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'wpaft_option_page' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add and delete taxonomy meta, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected products
