CVE-2024-5029

Summary

CVE-2024-5029 is a vulnerability affecting the CM Table Of Contents WordPress plugin before version 1.2.4. This issue arises due to the absence of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) checks during the plugin's settings update process. Moreover, there is a lack of input sanitization and escaping, allowing attackers to inject Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) payloads through a CSRF attack. Successful exploitation could result in admin privileges being compromised, potentially leading to site takeover or data theft. It is highly recommended for users to update their CM Table Of Contents plugin to the latest version as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
