      "value": "LibreTranslate through 1.9.7, fixed in commit 397fd22, contains an IP spoofing vulnerability in the get_remote_address() function that allows unauthenticated attackers to spoof client IP addresses by injecting arbitrary values into the X-Forwarded-For header without trusted proxy validation. Attackers can bypass per-IP rate limiting and flood bans by supplying forged addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header to enable unlimited API abuse."

      "value": "LibreTranslate hasta 1.9.7, corregido en el commit 397fd22, contiene una vulnerabilidad de suplantación de IP en la función get_remote_address() que permite a atacantes no autenticados suplantar direcciones IP de cliente inyectando valores arbitrarios en el encabezado X-Forwarded-For sin validación de proxy de confianza. Los atacantes pueden eludir la limitación de velocidad por IP y las prohibiciones por inundación suministrando direcciones falsificadas en el encabezado X-Forwarded-For para permitir el abuso ilimitado de la API."
