- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.26.5
- Published: 2022-02-07 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown IP2Location Country Blocker: from 2.26.5, fixed in 2.26.5

## Description

The IP2Location Country Blocker WordPress plugin before 2.26.5 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks in the ip2location_country_blocker_save_rules AJAX action, allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber to call it and block arbitrary country, or block all of them at once, preventing users from accessing the frontend.

## What to do
