Summary

The YOP Poll WordPress plugin before version 7.0.6 does not validate the connection's origin IP address and trusts client-controlled forwarding headers when enforcing per-IP vote restrictions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass the vote limit and cast unlimited votes on a public poll.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can manipulate the results of public polls, undermining their credibility and potentially leading to incorrect decisions based on falsified data.

Recommendation

Update the YOP Poll plugin to version 7.0.6 or later, which properly validates the connection's IP address.
