What is CVE-2024-12750?

The Competition Form WordPress plugin, prior to version 2.0, is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks due to the absence of proper CSRF checks during the update of its settings. This flaw allows an attacker, who has compromised an admin session, to manipulate configurations without the administrator's consent, posing significant security risks to sites using this plugin. It is crucial for administrators to update to the latest version and implement security best practices to mitigate potential threats.
