Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the WP Data Access WordPress plugin before version 5.5.88. It allows any authenticated user, including subscribers, to bypass authorization and CSRF checks. Attackers can force the server to connect to arbitrary hosts and ports, including internal systems, and read responses from those connections.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the installed version of the WP Data Access plugin. If it is below 5.5.88, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'wp plugin list' in WordPress or inspect the plugin directory for version details.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to access internal systems, exfiltrate data, or perform unauthorized actions on behalf of the server. This includes reading sensitive information from internal networks or services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or exfiltration, violating GDPR's data protection principles or HIPAA's security requirements. Compliance may be compromised if sensitive data is exposed.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the WP Data Access plugin to version 5.5.88 or later. Remove or disable the plugin if updating is not possible. Restrict user permissions to minimize exposure.
