CVE-2023-5426 (GCVE-0-2023-5426)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-10-28 11:06 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:26

Title

Post Meta Data Manager <=1.2.0 - Missing Authorization to User, Term, and Post Meta Deletion

Summary

The Post Meta Data Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the pmdm_wp_delete_user_meta, pmdm_wp_delete_term_meta, and pmdm_wp_ajax_delete_meta functions in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete user, term, and post meta belonging to arbitrary users.

Severity

7.5 (High)
