simple-php-router through 5.4.1.7 contains an IP restriction bypass vulnerability in the IpRestrictAccess middleware that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to bypass IP whitelist and blacklist protections. Attackers can spoof X-Forwarded-For, CF-Connecting-IP, or Client-IP headers to impersonate whitelisted addresses or evade blacklists, gaining access to IP-restricted routes.
The product has two different sources of the same data or information, but it uses the source that has less support for verification, is less trusted, or is less resistant to attack.
