Technical details
The plugin accepts user-supplied media URLs without validating redirect destinations during fetch operations, enabling Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. An authenticated attacker with contributor role or above can craft a redirect chain to reach internal services. This is CWE-918 (Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames) and requires the attacker to have an existing contributor account on the WordPress instance.
