AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, monitoring for unusual AI request patterns and restricting or validating client IP headers at a network or application firewall level may help mitigate exploitation.
Description
The wpForo Forum WordPress plugin from 3.0.0 before 3.1.6 does not verify the source of client-supplied IP address headers before using them to key its per-visitor rate limit on paid AI requests, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass the limit by spoofing the header and exhaust the site owner's metered AI credits.
