Limit Login Attempts, CVE-2023-1912

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2023-1912
Home page URL: Security reports for Limit Login Attempts
Application: Limit Login Attempts
Published on: Apr 06, 2023
Research Description: The Limit Login Attempts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via its lock logging feature in versions up to, and including, 1.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever an administrator accesses the plugin's settings page. This only works when the plugin prioritizes use of the X-FORWARDED-FOR header, which can be configured in its settings.
Affected versions: max 1.7.2.
Status: vulnerable
