CVE-2026-80514 PUBLISHED

wpForo Forum 3.0.0 - 3.1.5 - Unauthenticated AI Credit Exhaustion via IP Rate Limit Bypass

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 26.08.2026 Published: 25.09.2026 Updated: 25.09.2026

The wpForo Forum WordPress plugin from 3.0.0 before 3.1.6 does not verify the source of client-supplied IP address headers before using them to key its per-visitor rate limit on paid AI requests, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass the limit by spoofing the header and exhaust the site owner's metered AI credits.
