Summary

The MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies WordPress plugin from 2.0.2 before 2.12.3 is affected. A missing authorization check (CWE-862) lets unauthenticated requests re-run a legacy data migration. An unauthenticated remote attacker can revert custom post type or taxonomy definitions on sites upgraded from a pre-2.0 release, discarding administrator changes and re-exposing restricted definitions and content to anonymous visitors. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA

The MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies WordPress plugin before 2.12.3 does not perform any capability or authentication check before allowing an unauthenticated request to re-run a legacy data migration, letting anyone revert a custom post type or taxonomy definition on sites upgraded from a pre-2.0 release back to its pre-upgrade state. This discards configuration changes an administrator made after upgrading and, where those changes had restricted a definition's visibility, silently re-exposes the definition and its content to anonymous visitors.
