Description

HestiaCP versions 1.2.0 through 1.9.4 contain an IP spoofing vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication security controls by supplying an arbitrary IP address in the CF-Connecting-IP HTTP header without verifying the request originated from Cloudflare's network. Attackers can exploit this to circumvent fail2ban brute-force protection, bypass per-user IP allowlists, and poison authentication audit logs by spoofing trusted IP addresses on each request.
