CVE-2024-37450 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, mapped to CWE-352, in the Benevolent WordPress theme developed by Rara Theme. The issue affects the theme from unknown initial versions through version 1.3.4 inclusive. It was published on 2025-01-02 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers over the network with low attack complexity, though it requires user interaction from a victim, such as clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted webpage. Exploitation occurs when a forged request tricks an authenticated user into performing unintended actions on a site running the vulnerable theme, resulting in low-impact integrity effects, such as unauthorized changes to theme-related data or settings, with no impact on confidentiality or availability.
