- Summary
- The flaw allows remote unauthenticated attackers to bypass IP-based throttling by manipulating the X-Forwarded-For header, leading to potential unauthorized access to admin functionalities.

- Exploitation is relatively straightforward as attackers can send a different X-Forwarded-For value per request, requiring no specific preconditions other than the ability to modify HTTP headers.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, this could lead to unauthorized access to admin features, potentially resulting in data breaches or system compromise.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to pH7Builder version 18.3.0 or later.

NVD description
pH7Software pH7Builder (pH7 Social Dating CMS) through 18.2.0 resolves the client IP address in _protected/framework/Ip/Ip.class.php from the HTTP_CLIENT_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR headers without verifying the request comes from a trusted proxy. Because the admin login attempt counter and lockout are keyed on this value, a remote unauthenticated attacker bypasses IP-based throttling by sending a different X-Forwarded-For value per request
