WordPress has a 12-year-old unfixed security vulnerability that it does not properly validate incoming comments.
An attacker can trick both anonymous and logged-in users to post comments on a victim site without them realizing, while using their own credentials.
See this issue for more information: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10931
This is a tiny (fewer than 40 effect lines of code) module that adds a secure token to the comment form and validate it before accepting any comment, thus making your comment forms secure as they should\’ve been for all these years!
It provides no UI – just install it, and you are all set!
<ol>
<li>This plugin adds a secret cryptographically-secure token to the comment form. This is a unique value and is computationally impractical to guess it.</li>
<li>Upon comment submission, the comment is rejected if the secret tokens are not present or computationally invalid.</li>
</ol>

Features include: 
– CSRF protection for user and WooCommerce registration forms. 
– Enable or disable custom nonce fields for registration forms. 
– Block specific emails or domains using a comma-separated list. 
– Integrate Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot registrations. 
– Customize error messages for invalid nonce, email/domain blocklist, and captcha errors.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin integrates with <a href="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google reCAPTCHA</a> to protect your site from spam and abuse.
What the service is and what it is used for: 
Google reCAPTCHA is a free service that helps protect websites from spam and abuse by using advanced risk analysis techniques to tell humans and bots apart.
What data is sent and when: 
When a user interacts with the registration form where reCAPTCHA is enabled, the following data is collected and sent to Google:
<ul>
<li>User’s IP address</li>
<li>Browser and device information</li>
<li>Cookies</li>
<li>Mouse movements and keystrokes while interacting with the reCAPTCHA widget</li>
</ul>
This data is collected by Google when the reCAPTCHA challenge is displayed or solved, to determine whether the user is a human or a bot.
