Vulnerability Overview

The CformsII plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CAPTCHA Bypass in versions up to, and including, 14.10.1. This is due to the codes not being one-time use and improper verification of user-supplied data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the Captcha Verification.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 14.11, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-804 (Guessable CAPTCHA) The product uses a CAPTCHA challenge, but the challenge can be guessed or automatically recognized by a non-human actor.
