CVE-2025-11970Network attack vector

Internal-service access via unchecked request destinations

Published Dec 13, 2025 · Updated Dec 13, 2025

Server-side request forgery in the Emplibot WordPress plugin 1.0.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to access internal services. The emplibot_call_webhook_with_error() and emplibot_process_zip_data() functions issue requests to attacker-controlled destinations without SSRF-safe validation. Administrator-level access is required; successful requests can read or modify information exposed by reachable internal services.
