Post metadata deletion via forged administrator request
Published May 2, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in gluten Delete Custom Fields 0.3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary post metadata. The ajax_delete_field() handler processes deletion requests without correctly validating a WordPress nonce. Exploitation requires an administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link or otherwise submit the forged request, after which arbitrary post metadata can be removed.
