Authenticated internal requests via unvalidated Elementor image URL
Published Jan 10, 2026 · Updated Jan 10, 2026
Server-side request forgery in FIFU 5.3.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to send arbitrary requests from WordPress. The Elementor widget passes the user-controlled fifu_input_url value to PHP getimagesize() without restricting hosts, private addresses, or schemes. Contributor-level access plus permission to use Elementor is required; the blind requests can probe internal services without returning response bodies.
