IP Spoofing Vulnerability in Piwik

CVE-2011-0398 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

The Piwik_Common::getIP function in Piwik before 1.1 does not properly determine the client IP address, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended geolocation and logging functionality via (1) use of a private (aka RFC 1918) address behind a proxy server or (2) spoofing of the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header.
