This weakness is classified as CWE\u2011288, which concerns unauthorized access to privileged functions. The effect is that a user who can exploit the vulnerability can circumvent CAPTCHA checks and gain unauthorized access to features that depend on CAPTCHA validation.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The issue is described as moderately critical, indicating a moderate to high potential impact. While no EPSS score is available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the nature of the flaw suggests that an attacker could exploit it by following an alternate route to the CAPTCHA endpoint. The absence of a public exploit record does not reduce the risk, as any user with sufficient access to the web application\u2019s form handling could trigger the bypass."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-25T21:31:02.512587+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-25T21:31:02.512618+00:00", "vendors": []}
