Version 1.6.4 contains a brute-force protection bypass where an attacker can indefinitely reset the counter by modifying `X-Forwarded-For` on each request, gaining unlimited password guessing attempts, effectively bypassing all brute-force protection. The application fully trusts the `X-Forwarded-For` header without validating it or restricting its usage. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.5.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `wbce_cms < 1.6.5`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `wbce_cms 1.6.5`","depth":"midnight","depthScore":57,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":44.6,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
