Technical details
The plugin fails to validate user-supplied URLs before fetching them server-side via the avatar URL field. Users with subscriber role and above can abuse this to perform SSRF attacks against internal addresses. An attacker gains the ability to probe internal network services, bypass firewall restrictions, and potentially read internal resources if accessible to the web server process.
