Vulnerability Overview

The WordPress Automatic Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery and Arbitrary File Downloads in all versions up to, and including, 3.92.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services in addition to accessing arbitrary files on the server that may contain sensitive information.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.92.1, 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.
