Descriptions

Block BYPASS vulnerability in iQ Block Country plugin <= 1.2.18 on WordPress.

Vulnerabilidad de bloqueo del BYPASS en el complemento iQ Block Country en versiones <= 1.2.18 en WordPress.

The iQ Block Country plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Country Blocking Bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.2.18. This is due to the improperly implemented login page verification check in the iqblockcountry_is_login_page function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the country block by including the string 'wp-login' in the URL.
