CVE-2023-5425 Information

Description

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_change_user_meta and pmdm_wp_change_post_meta functions in versions up to and including 1.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions and above to gain elevated (e.g. administrator) privileges.
