## What is CVE-2024-13800?

CVE-2024-13800 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Brainstorm Force ConvertPlus, published on 12 Feb 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The ConvertPlus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to a denial of service due to a missing capability check on the 'cp_dismiss_notice' AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.30. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update option values to '1' on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update an option that would create an error on the site and deny service to legitimate users or be used to set some values to true such as registration.
