Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Kévin Mosbahi (Mika).
The Comments Like Dislike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Address Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.2 due to use of user-supplied HTTP headers as a primary method for IP retrieval. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber privileges and above to bypass IP restrictions.
