Vulnerability Overview

The Advanced Google reCAPTCHA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP unblocking in all versions up to, and including, 1.25. This is due to the plugin not utilizing a strong unique key when generating an unblock request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to unblock their IP after being locked out due to too many bad password attempts

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.26, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-340 (Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers) The product uses a scheme that generates numbers or identifiers that are more predictable than required.
