Overview

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The GetContentFromURL plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to the plugin using wp_remote_get() instead of wp_safe_remote_get() to fetch content from a user-supplied URL in the 'url' parameter of the [gcfu] shortcode. 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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
