## Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the ThemeHunk Contact Form & Lead Form Elementor Builder plugin for WordPress through version 1.8.4. The vulnerability stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels and a lack of proper nonce validation, effectively making it susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by inducing a privileged user (such as an administrator) to interact with a specially crafted link or page. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute administrative actions or modify plugin settings without proper authorization. The issue is resolved in version 1.8.5.
