The Limit Login Attempts (Spam Protection) plugin for WordPress is unsafe in versions up to 2.9. This is because it does not check if a request is legitimate or not. This opens up the possibility for an unauthenticated attacker to install and activate a plugin on a website if they can get an administrator to click on a link.
