WordPress · Wp Cerber Security · CVE-2022-4100
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WP Cerber Security plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including 9.4
**Description**
The WP Cerber Security plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Protection bypass due to the plugin improperly checking for a visitor's IP address. This makes it possible for an attacker whose IP address has been blocked to bypass this control by setting the `X-Forwarded-For` HTTP header to an IP Address that hasn't been blocked.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including 9.4, update to a version that properly checks for a visitor's IP address to prevent IP Protection bypass.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `X-Forwarded-For` HTTP header to minimize the risk of exploitation.
