Technical details
The optin_form addon in SP Page Builder Pro fails to validate CAPTCHA settings against stored configuration; instead it reads the CAPTCHA type, expected answer, and enabled flag directly from user-supplied request parameters. The verification logic uses a weak comparison md5($captcha_question) != $captcha_answer where both operands originate from the attacker-controlled request, making the check trivial to bypass. An unauthenticated remote attacker can forge a request with matching MD5 values to completely bypass CAPTCHA protection on opt-in forms. This affects versions 5.1.4 through 6.9.0.
