Description

The B Carousel Block – Responsive Image and Content Carousel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.5. This is due to the plugin not validating user-supplied URLs before passing them to the wp_remote_request() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-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.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The vulnerability is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the B Carousel Block WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.1.5). It occurs because the plugin does not validate user-supplied URLs before passing them to the wp_remote_request() function. This allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to make web requests to arbitrary locations from the web application, potentially querying or modifying information from internal services.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with subscriber-level access or higher to make unauthorized web requests from the server to arbitrary locations. This can lead to information disclosure or modification of internal services that are not normally accessible externally, potentially compromising sensitive data or internal systems.
