Summary

CVE-2020-36747 is a vulnerability affecting the Lightweight Sidebar Manager plugin for WordPress. This issue allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate metabox data via a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. The flaw arises from incorrect or missing nonce validation in the metabox_save() function. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a malicious link, which then allows the attacker to save unintended metabox data on the affected site. Updates to version 1.1.5 or later of the plugin have resolved this vulnerability.
