CVE-2022-1762Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Geoblocking bypass via spoofed Cloudflare IP header

Published Jun 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Authentication bypass in Webence iQ Block Country before 1.2.20 allows remote attackers to evade geographic access blocks. The plugin accepts the client-controlled CF-Connecting-IP HTTP header as the origin address used for country and IP validation. No authentication or user interaction is required; a crafted request can reach content that configured country or address rules should deny.
