/**
 * Exploit Title: Limit Login Attempts Reloaded by WPChef rate limiter bypass
 * Date: 2019-04-08
 * Exploit Author: isdampe
 * Software Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded
 * Version: 2.7.4
 * Tested on: WordPress 5.1.1
 *
 * Description
 * -----------
 *
 *  The plugin's primary goal is to limit the rate at which an individual can attempt
 *  to authenticate with WordPress. Plugin has support for HTTP headers 
 *  X_FORWARDED_FOR and X_SUCURI_CLIENTIP to allow rate limiting for users
 *  when web servers are behind a reverse proxy service.
 *  However, REMOTE_ADDR is not verified as a whitelisted proxy address, thus
 *  allowing an attacker to easily forge either the X_FORWARDED_FOR or 
 *  X_SUCURI_CLIENTIP headers to completely bypass the rate limiting service.
 *
 *  PoC
