Description

The Rate my Post โ€“ WP Rating System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Address Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.2 due to insufficient IP address validation and use of user-supplied HTTP headers as a primary method for IP retrieval. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to vote on posts multiple times.
