Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Swifty Page Manager plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.1

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several AJAX actions handling page creation and deletion. This allows unauthenticated attackers to invoke those functions via forged requests if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.0.1, update to a version that includes proper nonce validation for AJAX actions to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to AJAX endpoints related to page creation and deletion to minimize the risk of exploitation.
