All-in-One Video Gallery <= 4.8.5 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Server-Side Request Forgery via 'vdl' Parameter

The All-in-One Video Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.5 via the 'vdl' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-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. A Subscriber-level attacker can plant an internal or loopback URL in the `mp4` post meta of a newly created `aiovg_videos` post via XML-RPC `wp.newPost`, then trigger the unauthenticated `?vdl=<post_id>` endpoint to force the server to fetch that URL and stream the full response body back to the requester.

An attacker needs Subscriber access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: All-in-One Video Gallery 4.9.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
