Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, consider disabling the "Show file size" option in the MimeTypes Link Icons plugin to prevent triggering the vulnerable code path. Limit Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to this plugin.

Description

The MimeTypes Link Icons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.20. This is due to the plugin making outbound HTTP requests to user-controlled URLs without proper validation when the "Show file size" option is enabled. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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 via crafted links in post content.

Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can leverage this SSRF vulnerability to make the server send arbitrary HTTP requests. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, modification of internal services, or disruption of availability within the internal network or other reachable systems. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected environment. No known exploits have been reported in the wild to date.

Summary

CVE-2026-1313 is a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the eagerterrier MimeTypes Link Icons WordPress plugin versions up to 3.2.20. The flaw arises because the plugin performs outbound HTTP requests to URLs controlled by users without sufficient validation when the "Show file size" feature is enabled. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor or higher privileges to induce the server to send requests to arbitrary internal or external locations, potentially accessing or modifying internal services. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.3, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
