Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The WS Form LITE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CAPTCHA bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.9.117. This is due to the existence of a mechanism that allows the CAPTCHA to be bypassed if the client-side field is hidden (or omitted from the request). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass an intended protection mechanism for contact form submissions.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.9.118, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security) The product is composed of a server that relies on the client to implement a mechanism that is intended to protect the server.
