CVE-2023-49741Network attack vector

Unauthenticated site access via spoofed IP headers

Published Jun 4, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Authentication bypass in WpDevArt Coming soon and Maintenance mode 3.7.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to view hidden site content. The get_real_ip function treats user-supplied HTTP forwarding headers as the visitor's source address, so a request claiming an allowed IP skips the maintenance-page redirect. Exploitation requires maintenance or coming-soon mode with an allowed-IP exception; the documented consequence is read-only access to the concealed site.
