What is CVE-2024-7862?

The Blog Introduction WordPress plugin, specifically versions before 0.3.0, suffers from a lack of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection during the update of its settings. This weakness can enable an unauthorized attacker to exploit a logged-in administrator's session and modify settings without their consent. The absence of CSRF checks allows for the possibility of executing malicious requests that could compromise the integrity of the site. Website administrators using this plugin should ensure that they update to the latest version to mitigate potential risks associated with this vulnerability.
