CVE-2025-70129

EUVD-2025-208520
If the anti spam-captcha functionality in PluXml versions 5.8.22 and earlier is enabled, a captcha challenge is generated with a format that can be automatically recognized for articles, such that an automated script is able to solve this anti-spam mechanism trivially and publish spam comments. The details of captcha challenge are exposed within document body of articles with comments & anti spam-captcha functionalities enabled, including "capcha-letter", "capcha-word" and "capcha-token" which can be used to construct a valid post request to publish a comment. As such, attackers can flood articles with automated spam comments, especially if there are no other web defenses available.
