If you cannot patch yet, administrators should consider disabling the plugin or restricting access to polling features to trusted users to mitigate abuse.
Description
The YOP Poll WordPress plugin before 7.0.6 does not validate the connection's origin IP address and instead trusts client-controlled forwarding headers when enforcing its per-IP vote restriction, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass the vote limit and cast unlimited votes on a public poll.
