Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.
The WS Form LITE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CAPTCHA bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.9.117. This is due to the existence of a mechanism that allows the CAPTCHA to be bypassed if the client-side field is hidden (or omitted from the request). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass an intended protection mechanism for contact form submissions.
