Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The WordPress Mega Menu – QuadMenu plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.2.0

Description: The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax dismiss notice() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to update any user meta to a value of one, including wp capabilities, which could result in a privilege deescalation of an administrator. Attackers can exploit this by tricking a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link, via a forged request.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 3.2.0, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax dismiss notice() function. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ajax dismiss notice() function until a patch is available.
