## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the 'stm_ajax_add_a_car_media' AJAX action due to a lack of authorization and CSRF validation. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted POST request to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php to modify metadata for any post where the 'stm_car_user' meta is unset. This includes blog posts, pages, and WooCommerce products. Impacted metadata includes '_thumbnail_id', gallery arrays, and, if WooCommerce and pay-per-listing are configured, the '_price' field. The issue is fixed in version 1.4.110.
