Vulnerability Overview

The iQ Block Country plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Country Blocking Bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.2.18. This is due to the improperly implemented login page verification check in the iqblockcountry_is_login_page function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the country block by including the string 'wp-login' in the URL.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.19, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-305 (Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness) The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
