Summary
The Security Antivirus Firewall plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions up to and including 2.3.5, is susceptible to IP Address Spoofing. This vulnerability arises from inadequate restrictions applied to the source of IP Address information used for logging requests and enforcing login restrictions. An attacker could exploit this weakness by supplying a manipulated X-Forwarded-For header, allowing them to log in with a bypassed IP address, possibly overriding existing access controls and gaining unauthorized access to the system.
