CVE-2025-58641 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified in the kamleshyadav Exit Intent Popup plugin, affecting versions up to 1.0.1. SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can manipulate a server-side application to make HTTP requests to arbitrary domains or internal systems that the attacker normally cannot access. In this case, the Exit Intent Popup plugin improperly validates or sanitizes user-supplied input that controls server-side HTTP requests, allowing an attacker to coerce the server into sending requests to unintended locations. This can lead to unauthorized internal network scanning, access to internal services, or exposure of sensitive information. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) shows that the attack can be performed remotely over the network without privileges or user interaction, but requires high attack complexity. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent, with no direct availability impact. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects components beyond the vulnerable component itself. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The plugin is typically used on websites to display exit intent popups, which are triggered when a user attempts to leave a page. Exploiting SSRF in this context could allow attackers to probe internal network resources or access metadata services if hosted in cloud environments, potentially leading to further compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of this SSRF vulnerability depends on the deployment of the kamleshyadav Exit Intent Popup plugin within their web infrastructure. Organizations using this plugin on public-facing websites could be exposed to attackers leveraging SSRF to access internal network resources that are otherwise protected by firewalls. This could lead to unauthorized reconnaissance, data leakage, or pivoting attacks within the corporate network. Given the medium severity and the requirement for high attack complexity, the immediate risk is moderate but should not be underestimated, especially for organizations with sensitive internal services or cloud-hosted infrastructure relying on metadata services. Additionally, GDPR and other European data protection regulations impose strict requirements on data confidentiality; any breach resulting from SSRF exploitation could lead to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate urgency but highlights the need for proactive mitigation.

1. Immediate mitigation should include disabling or removing the kamleshyadav Exit Intent Popup plugin until a security patch is available. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any parameters that control server-side requests within the plugin or associated web applications. 3. Employ network-level controls such as egress filtering and firewall rules to restrict outbound HTTP requests from web servers to only trusted destinations, preventing SSRF exploitation from reaching internal services. 4. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block suspicious SSRF patterns or anomalous outbound requests. 5. Monitor server logs for unusual outbound request patterns or internal resource access attempts originating from the web server. 6. Once a patch is released by the vendor, apply it promptly and verify the fix through security testing. 7. Conduct a security review of all third-party plugins and dependencies to identify and remediate similar SSRF risks. 8. Educate development and operations teams about SSRF risks and secure coding practices to prevent future vulnerabilities.
