CVE-2020-36746

The Menu Swapper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.0.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the mswp_save_meta() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save meta data via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
