Description
The WPS Limit Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.4.6. This is due to flawed implementation of the get_address() method. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to run automated scripts to brute force passwords by changing the supplied IP Address in the HTTP header of the request. .
