CVE-2022-4536 affects the IP Vault – WP Firewall plugin for WordPress, specifically versions up to and including 1.1. This vulnerability allows for IP address spoofing due to insufficient validation of IP address information used for logging and login restrictions. An attacker can manipulate the X-Forwarded-For header to bypass IP-based security controls. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3 (Medium), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity and no user interaction required. The potential impact is limited to integrity, allowing attackers to bypass restrictions rather than gaining full control or data confidentiality. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, suggesting low public awareness and attention to this vulnerability.
