Technical details

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the Simple Link Directory Pro plugin for WordPress due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted requests that cause the server to initiate network connections to arbitrary domains or internal IP addresses. This can be used to scan internal networks, access metadata services, or interact with other internal services that are not intended to be public. The vulnerability is addressed in version 15.0.7.
