Publication date: 2026-03-03

Last updated on: 2026-03-03

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.0.3 via the download_url() function. 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. Additionally, the plugin stores the contents of the remote files on the server, which can be leveraged to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

Executive Summary

The Uncanny Automator WordPress plugin, up to version 7.0.0.3, is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via its download_url() function.

This vulnerability allows authenticated users with Administrator-level access or higher to make web requests from the web application to arbitrary locations.

Attackers can use this to query and modify information from internal services.

Additionally, the plugin stores the contents of remote files on the server, which can be exploited to upload arbitrary files to the affected site’s server, potentially enabling remote code execution.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized internal network access and data manipulation.

An attacker with administrator privileges can make the server send requests to arbitrary locations, potentially accessing sensitive internal services.

The ability to upload arbitrary files to the server may lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to run malicious code on the affected site.

Overall, this can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
