Description

The Lightweight Sidebar Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the metabox_save() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save metbox data via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • brainstormforce Lightweight Sidebar Manager — Up to and including 1.1.4
  • brainstormforce lightweight_sidebar_manager — Up to and including 1.1.5
