CVE-2016-4029

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress versions prior to 4.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass an intended SSRF protection mechanism via a crafted address, as WordPress does not consider octal and hexadecimal IP address formats when determining an intranet address.

Recommendations For WordPress versions prior to 4.5, update to version 4.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to internal network resources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
