DescriptionCVE.org

Discuz! X5.0 releases 20260320 through 20260501 contains a CAPTCHA bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to defeat challenge controls by exploiting limited complexity and predictable character sets in generated CAPTCHA images. Attackers can train a custom optical character recognition model against collected CAPTCHA samples to reliably predict challenge text, bypassing protections on login, registration, and other functionality from automated abuse.

AnalysisAI

CAPTCHA challenge controls in Discuz! X5.0 (releases 20260320-20260501) can be reliably defeated by unauthenticated remote attackers who harvest samples from exposed forum endpoints and train a custom optical character recognition model to predict challenge text. …
