Internal data exposure via unvalidated Bitly redirects
Published Jan 1, 2026 · Updated Jan 1, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Smackcoders WP Ultimate CSV Importer 7.35 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to access internal endpoints. The upload_function method validates an initial URL, but unshorten_bitly_url follows a Bitly redirect and sends the resulting request without validating the destination. Contributor-level access is required; the server can reach localhost, private networks, or cloud metadata services and expose returned internal data.
