Descriptions

The Assistant WordPress plugin before 1.4.4 does not validate a parameter before making a request to it via wp_remote_get(), which could allow users with a role as low as Editor to perform SSRF attacks

El complemento The Assistant WordPress anterior a 1.4.4 no valida un parámetro antes de realizar una solicitud a través de wp_remote_get(), lo que podría permitir a los usuarios con un rol tan bajo como Editor realizar ataques SSRF.

The Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.4.3 via the /posts/(?P<id>\d+)/library/(?P<library_id>\d+) REST API endpoint. This can allow authenticated attackers, with editor-level capabilities 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.
