An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-48745 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WebFactory Ltd Captcha Code. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48745/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48745/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-48745","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48745/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-48745","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-63p9-wc49-39m6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass captcha protection in the WordPress Captcha Code plugin due to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in WebFactory Ltd Captcha Code allows Functionality Bypass.This issue affects Captcha Code: from n/a through 2.9.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Captcha Code plugin \u003c= 2.9 - Captcha Bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-48745","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Community by PeepSo Plugin \u003c= 6.2.6.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-48746"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Availability Calendar Plugin \u003c= 1.2.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-48744"},"products":["Captcha Code"],"published":"2024-06-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["WebFactory Ltd"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass captcha protection in the WordPress Captcha Code plugin due to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48745/"}
