Unauthenticated maintenance-mode bypass via IP spoofing
Published May 17, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Authentication bypass in Pippin Williamson CGC Maintenance Mode 1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass IP filtering. Published advisories identify insufficient IP-address validation but do not disclose the input or code locus. Maintenance mode and an IP allowlist must be enabled; successful spoofing reveals site content reserved for allowed addresses.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <=1.2
- Affected versionversion=n/a <=1.2
