Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-31 09:30 – Updated: 2024-08-31 09:30

Details

The WP Cerber Security plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Protection bypass in versions up to, and including 9.4 due to the plugin improperly checking for a visitor's IP address. This makes it possible for an attacker whose IP address has been blocked to bypass this control by setting the X-Forwarded-For: HTTP header to an IP Address that hasn't been blocked.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
