Vulnerability Overview

The PowerPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 11.0.6 via the wp_ajax_powerpress_media_info AJAX action. This can allow authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permission and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application which can be used to query and modify information from internal services.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 11.0.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)) The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
