Description
The Featured Image Plus – Quick & Bulk Edit with Unsplash plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.6 via the fip_get_image_options() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
