Technical details

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the denishua WPJAM Basic plugin for WordPress (versions <= 7.0). The vulnerability (CWE-918) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to induce the server to make requests to arbitrary domains or internal network resources. This occurs due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs before the plugin performs a server-side request. Attackers can leverage this to bypass firewalls, scan internal networks, or access metadata services in cloud environments. The issue is resolved in version 7.0.1.
