Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hueman theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.6.3

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save meta box() function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save metabox data via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.6.3, update to a version higher than 3.6.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the save meta box() function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the metabox data to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the vulnerable function in administrative tasks until the issue is resolved.
