Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to TheLightCosine.

The CformsII plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CAPTCHA Bypass in versions up to, and including, 14.10.1. This is due to the codes not being one-time use and improper verification of user-supplied data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the Captcha Verification.
