What is known
The DoLogin Security WordPress plugin before 3.7 does not properly sanitize IP addresses coming from the X-Forwarded-For header, which can be used by attackers to conduct Stored XSS attacks via WordPress' login form.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-4549, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) affecting dologin security, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
