Vulnerability Overview
The WordPress Manutenção plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6. This is due to insufficient validation of IP addresses. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the plugin's maintenance mode restriction via the 'X-Forwarded-For' HTTP header.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-348: Use of Less Trusted Source
The product has two different sources of the same data or information, but it uses the source that has less support for verification, is less trusted, or is less resistant to attack.
Remediation
Update to version 1.0.7, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to WordPress Manutenção: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: WordPress Manutenção 1.0.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
