Technical details
The vulnerability exists because NivoCart exposes the CAPTCHA code as plain text within the HTML response sent to the client, allowing unauthenticated attackers to extract it via pattern matching. An attacker can fetch any protected form, parse the captcha_image value from the HTML, and resubmit it along with form data to bypass verification. This is a client-side validation weakness with no authentication requirement.
