Chronoforms5 sends empty mails

Prevent ChronoForms from sending empty emails due to crawler access.

Overview

The issue occurs when web crawlers access the form's submission URL directly, triggering the email action without any form data.
Implement anti-spam measures such as a honeypot field to trap automated bots and use IP blocking to restrict access from known spam sources.

Hello,

we are using Chronoforms5 on our website placed in a module position.
If there is a crawler and finds the action URL /?chronoform=Kontaktanfrage&event=submit, chronoforms sends an empty email.

How can we fix this?
Thanks, Alex
