WP Plugin » SpamKit Plugin 0.1 - Time-Based-Tokens to Fight Spam

This is a minor release of SpamKit Plugin to address an easy-to-fix problem where Trackbacks from the same blog or server get treated as spam because they don’t include the time-based token. This is checked into Subversion over at WP-Plugins.org and you can download the new version here spamkit-plugin.php.

Changelog:

Added a check in spam_action_pre_comment_approved to compare the REMOTE_ADDR with the SERVER_ADDR, if they match it allows the comment to bypass time-based token checking. However this could be abused if another web application on the server is exploited allowing an attacker to post comments apparently from this server. Then again if someone goes to all the effort of expoiting a web application comment-spam is probably low on their priorities.
