WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Custom Banners < 3.3 - CSRF Nonce Bypass in saveCustomFields

Description

The plugin did not properly check the CSRF nonce in the saveCustomFields() method, which could allow attackers to make a logged in user with the edit_post capability to save custom fields in a post.

Numerous sanitisation fixes were also added to v3.3

Proof of Concept

Send a request without the my-custom-fields_wpnonce to bypass the nonce check
