I Can Still Register User via Command Line

  • I installed BWP-reCAPTCHA, the CAPTCHA shows up on the registration and effectively blocks users who incorrectly fill out the CAPTCHA. However, I am still able to register a user by sending a Post request with user_login, user_email, and submit values from the command line. This is precisely the scenario I’m trying to prevent.

    Am I missing something?

    This CURL command will register a user, even when the plugin is activated and set up correctly: 

    $ curl --request POST 'https://www.example.com/wp-login.php?action=register' \
--data "user_login=register_test&[email protected]&wp-submit=Register"

    Hello, thank you for reporting the issue.

    Does this happen for the login page as well or the registration page only?
