Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.4. This is due to insufficient validation on the user-supplied URL in the '/scanner/scan-without-login' REST API endpoint. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services via the `url` parameter.

This vulnerability is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 5.2.4. It occurs because the plugin does not properly validate user-supplied URLs in the '/scanner/scan-without-login' REST API endpoint. As a result, an authenticated attacker with administrator-level access can make the web application send requests to arbitrary locations, potentially querying and modifying information from internal services using the 'url' parameter.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with administrator-level access to make the web application send requests to arbitrary internal or external locations. This could lead to unauthorized querying and modification of information from internal services, potentially exposing sensitive data or disrupting internal operations.
