WordPress · Contests By Rewards Fuel · CVE-2024-1785
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Contests by Rewards Fuel plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.0.62
**Description**
The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the `ajax handler()` function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings and inject malicious JavaScript via a forged request. This can be achieved if an attacker can trick a site's user with the `edit posts` capability into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 2.0.62, update to a version higher than 2.0.62 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `ajax handler()` function until a patch is available.
