AI-suggested
A fix is available in version 2.4.1 of the WCK plugin. Users should upgrade to version 2.4.1 or later to remediate this missing authorization vulnerability. Until upgraded, restrict access to WCK meta boxes to trusted users only. No vendor advisory content was provided to indicate alternative mitigations or that no action is required.
Description
Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator (WCK) versions before 2.4.1 have a missing authorization vulnerability. Authenticated users with access to any WCK meta box can exploit the wck_show_update_form AJAX handler, which lacks proper capability checks and uses a shared, non-unique nonce action. This allows attackers to read custom-field values on posts they cannot edit by sending crafted requests to admin-ajax.php, potentially disclosing sensitive post-meta or option data including private or draft posts.
