If you use a captcha protected resource like the sendEmailServlet you can pass the same captcha again and again via curl if you use the session id cookie of the original request.

Once the captcha has been checked and validated, we need to remove it from the user's session programmatically.

Flowdock thread

The main problem here is that captcha information will be stored in session even after get/validate the value.

Steps to Reproduce:

#set($contentFormReferer = "/path/to/thanks-page")
#set($contentUseCaptcha = true)
#submitContent("webPageContent")
  • Create another page. ie thanks-page
  • Add a widget with this code:
$session.getAttribute("simpleCaptcha")
  • Now go to captcha-page in front end, log in and fill the form and captcha. After submit you will no longer see the captcha info in the next page.
