CVE-2024-56279Network attack vector

Authenticated SSRF via unsafe file-header request

Published Jan 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

SSRF in Compact WP Audio Player 1.9.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to send requests from the WordPress server. The shortcode handler passes its user-controlled fileurl value to wp_remote_get when retrieving audio-file headers, without blocking unsafe destinations. Contributor-level access is required, and the resulting requests can reach arbitrary domains and expose information from internal services.
