Detection Guidance

Detection of this SSRF vulnerability can involve monitoring for unusual outbound HTTP requests originating from the affected WordPress site, especially requests to attacker-controlled domains. Network administrators can use tools like tcpdump or Wireshark to capture and analyze outgoing HTTP traffic. For example, a command like 'tcpdump -i any -A port 80 or port 443' can be used to monitor HTTP/HTTPS traffic. Additionally, reviewing web server logs for unexpected internal or external HTTP requests triggered by the Frontis Blocks plugin may help identify exploitation attempts. However, no specific detection commands are provided in the available resources. [1]
