Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Impersonation due to the reliance on client-supplied IP address headers such as X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, and True-Client-IP. An attacker can circumvent per-IP rate limiting by supplying arbitrary values in these headers, causing the system to treat each request as originating from a different IP address and enabling increased brute-force or password-spraying attempts against authentication endpoints.
