 * Hi there,
 * There appears to be a security issue with the current version of the CAPTCHA 
   4WP plugin.

 * Could you please investigate the issue and release a patched version as soon 
   as possible?
 * Thank you.

 * Hi [@nerocd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nerocd/)
 * Just to mention that it’s not exactly a security issue. It’s a way for bots to
   go successfully through the captcha check if they are specifically made to use
   this specific bypass vulnerability.
 * As the patchstack reports says it’s Low priority – No impactful threat
 * Having the plugin active does not mean you have a security issue on the site.
   So in case you’re worried about that, everything is fine, don’t worry.
 * We are working on a patch for that issue, but it’s a very important piece of 
   the system and needs to be handled carefully, to avoid the patch causing regular
   visitors to not be able to pass the captcha check.
 * A patch is being tested at the moment, if all is fine we’ll release it on Monday.
