What is CVE-2016-8600?

In dotCMS version 3.2.1, an attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the captcha mechanism, allowing them to bypass previously validated captcha codes. Once the captcha is correctly filled out on one form, the valid code can be reused to access other forms that incorporate captcha checks, undermining the intended security measure. This issue emphasizes the need for more robust validation processes for captcha implementations to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive forms and data.
