CVE-2024-12414

Summary

CVE-2024-12414 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the Themify Store Locator plugin for WordPress. Versions up to and including 1.1.9 are vulnerable. This issue stems from inadequate nonce validation on the plugin's setting_page() function, which opens the door to unauthenticated attackers. They can manipulate the plugin's settings by crafting malicious links and tricking administrators into clicking them. This could potentially lead to unintended consequences, such as unauthorized access to sensitive information or even system compromise. Therefore, it is crucial for users to update to the latest version of the plugin as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
