In certain configurations, Magento uses the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header as the customer IP address and displayed it without sanitization in the Admin Panel. An attacker could use this header to inject JavaScript code into Order View forms in Admin Panel. The code was then executed when a user visited an Order View form, allowing the take over of an administrator session or for an unauthorized user to execute actions on behalf of an administrator. Note that we do not recommend using this header configuration setting.
