Blind SSRF via insufficient URL validation

Published Jun 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Blind SSRF in Smackcoders WP Ultimate CSV Importer before 6.5.3 allows remote authenticated users to make server-side HTTP requests. The Upload from External URL workflow accepts an internal or LAN URL as an import source and sends the request without fully validating the destination. Administrator-level access is required; the blind response limits direct output, but the request can reach services accessible to the WordPress host.
