Summary

CVE-2020-36751 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the Coupon Creator plugin for WordPress. Versions up to and including 3.1 of the plugin are impacted by this issue. The root cause is the lack of proper nonce validation on the save_meta() function, which allows an attacker to save meta fields through a forged request. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a malicious link. This can lead to unintended meta field modifications, potentially resulting in security risks or functionality changes on the affected WordPress site.
