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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-352"],"references":["https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/post-meta-data-manager/tags/1.2.1/readme.txt","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=2981559%40post-meta-data-manager&new=2981559%40post-meta-data-manager&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=2994271%40post-meta-data-manager&new=2994271%40post-meta-data-manager&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/d49b8c44-4dad-4990-a8a8-116b424a7dfa?source=cve","https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/post-meta-data-manager/tags/1.2.1/readme.txt"],"products":["wpexpertplugins:post_meta_data_manager"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:42:07.670898610+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-5776","score":0.0029,"percentile":0.21585,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
