Technical details

The plugin fails to verify user capabilities and implements nonce validation backwards—rejecting valid nonces while accepting invalid or missing ones. Combined with absent post validation, this permits any unauthenticated user to send requests that write design template data to arbitrary post metadata. The vulnerability is reachable over the network without authentication, requiring only knowledge of valid post IDs.
