Vulnerability Overview

The Advanced Menu Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Menu Creation/Deletion in versions up to, and including, 3.0.6. This is due to missing capability and nonce checks in its 'my_action_delete_menu' and 'my_action_create_menu_ajax' AJAX actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers (unauthenticated if performed via CSRF) to create and/or delete arbitrary menus.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.0.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
