CVE-2025-51663
A vulnerability found in IPRateLimit implementation of FileCodeBox up to 2.2 allows remote attackers to bypass ip-based rate limit protection and failed attempt restrictions by faking X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.44%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
