Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Fediverse Embeds WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.5.8
Description An unauthenticated media-proxying endpoint fails to validate the destination of server-side requests. This allows anonymous users to force the site to fetch arbitrary URLs, including internal and private-network addresses, and read the response body. This issue leads to a full-read Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the server is coerced into making requests to an unintended location, and creates an open proxy.
Recommendations Update Fediverse Embeds WordPress plugin to version 1.5.8 or later.
