Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to vuxvinh.
The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 1.57.2.0. This is due to unconditional trust of client-supplied forwarding headers (HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_X_REAL_IP) in the get_user_ip() function without first verifying that the connecting address belongs to a trusted proxy or Cloudflare edge. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass per-visitor poll vote limits and falsify the IP address recorded against any form submission by supplying arbitrary values in client-controlled forwarding headers.
