Until a patch is available, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the WP Scraper plugin. Consider disabling or removing the plugin if it is not essential.

Description

The WP Scraper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.1 via the wp_scraper_extract_content 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. On Cloud instances, this issue allows for metadata retrieving.
