Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-07 12:16 - Updated: 2026-04-15 00:35
Severity ?
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Summary
The AA Block Country plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Address Spoofing in versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to the plugin trusting user-supplied headers such as HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR to determine the client's IP address without proper validation or considering if the server is behind a trusted proxy. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass IP-based access restrictions by spoofing their IP address via the X-Forwarded-For header.

Esto se debe a que el plugin conf\u00eda en encabezados proporcionados por el usuario, como HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, para determinar la direcci\u00f3n IP del cliente sin una validaci\u00f3n adecuada o sin considerar si el servidor est\u00e1 detr\u00e1s de un proxy de confianza.
