Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Just Custom Fields plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.3.2

Description: The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several AJAX functions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to invoke functionality intended for admin users via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action. This enables subscribers to manage field groups and change visibility of items, among other things.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 3.3.2, update to a version that includes the necessary nonce validation to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AJAX functions until a patch is available.
