WordPress · Security · CVE-2022-4529
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Security, Antivirus, Firewall – S.A.F plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.3.5
**Description**
The issue is due to insufficient restrictions on where the IP Address information is being retrieved for request logging and login restrictions. Attackers can supply the `X-Forwarded-For` header with a different IP Address that will be logged and can be used to bypass settings that may have blocked out an IP address from logging in.
**Recommendations**
For Security, Antivirus, Firewall – S.A.F plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.3.5, consider updating to a version that addresses the IP Address Spoofing issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `X-Forwarded-For` header to minimize the risk of exploitation.
