The issue lies in the lack of proper nonce validation on the "generate_conversions()" function, resulting in a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

This flaw poses a significant risk, particularly for sites running outdated plugin versions up to and including 1.8.2. Upgrading to the latest version or implementing additional security measures is strongly advised to mitigate the threat.
