Technical Summary
The WPGet API WordPress plugin allows authenticated administrators to connect to external REST APIs. Due to an SSRF vulnerability (CWE-918), these users can craft requests that cause the server to send arbitrary HTTP requests to any location, including internal network services. This can be leveraged to access or modify sensitive data within internal systems. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 2.2.10. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level access can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to make the server perform arbitrary HTTP requests. This may allow unauthorized access to internal services or modification of data accessible via these requests. The impact includes partial loss of confidentiality and integrity of information. There is no indication of availability impact or known exploits in the wild at this time.
