Without CSRF Protection, Admins May Fall Prey to Survey Scams

CVE-2024-6022

Summary

The ContentLock WordPress plugin versions up to 1.0.3 is susceptible to a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. This flaw arises from the absence of proper CSRF checks when administrators attempt to update the plugin settings. As a result, malicious actors can exploit this weakness to manipulate logged-in administrators into changing critical settings without their consent, potentially compromising the security of the WordPress site. Website owners are advised to apply necessary patches and implement security best practices to mitigate this risk.
