Authenticated SSRF via unrestricted image URL fetch
Published Mar 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
SSRF in AI Engine 2.1.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to make server-side GET requests to arbitrary URLs. The classes/core.php download_image() method passes an attacker-controlled image URL directly to wp_remote_get() without restricting its destination. Editor-level access is required; the request originates from the WordPress host and reaches internal endpoints not directly exposed to the attacker.
